                          ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
                            WRIT OF MANDAMUS
                               228th District Court
                              Harris County, Texas
               Trial Court Cause No. 331288, 331289 & 331549

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On October 14, 2015, relator Michael Davis filed a petition for writ of
mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004); see also
Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable
Marc Carter, presiding judge of the 228th District Court of Harris County, to rule
on his "Movant's Motion for Access to the Plea Bargain."
      "A party's right to mandamus relief generally requires a predicate request
for some action and a refusal of that request." In re Perritt, 992 S.W.2d 444, 446
(Tex. 1999) (orig. proceeding). In particular, the relator must show that the motion
was filed and that he presented it to the trial court for a ruling. See In re Clewis,
14-10-00086-CV, 2010 WL 547087, at *1 n.3 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist]
Feb. 18, 2010, orig. proceeding). Additionally, as the party seeking relief, the
relator has the burden of providing this court with a sufficient record to establish
his right to mandamus relief. See Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex.
1992); Tex. R. App. P. 52.7(a)(1) (relator must file with petition "a certified or
sworn copy of every document that is material to the relator's claim for relief and
that was filed in any underlying proceeding").

      Relator attached to his petition his "Movant's Motion for Access to the Plea
Bargain" addressed to the trial court, dated September 21, 2015. But, there is no
file stamp or any other evidence in the record that the motion was actually filed
and presented to the trial court. The record does not show that relator requested a
ruling on the motion. Because relator has not provided an adequate record showing
that he is entitled to the relief he seeks, we deny relator's petition for writ of
mandamus.

                                                   PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Frost and Justices Christopher and Donovan.
