                   IN RE ROBERT GLENN DAVIS, Relator

             Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION
      Relator, Robert Glenn Davis, has filed another petition for writ of mandamus1

challenging the trial court’s refusal to respond to relator’s request pursuant to the Texas

Open Records Act.2

      As stated in our previous opinions, relator has not established that he is entitled to

mandamus relief. Section 552.028 states that “a governmental body is not required to

accept or comply with a request for information from . . . an individual who is imprisoned

or confined in a correctional facility . . . .” TEX. GOV’T CODE § 552.028. Documents

attached to relator’s petition indicate that he is an inmate in the Texas Department of

Criminal Justice. Accordingly, the trial court had no duty to rule on relator’s request for

information.

      We deny the petition. Any pending motions are dismissed as moot.

                                     PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Kelly, Goodman, and Guerra.

Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).

      Relator has filed three previous petitions for writ of mandamus raising exactly the same
