TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                        NO. 03-13-00073-CV

                                      In re Keith Russell Judd

                      ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY

                             MEMORANDUM OPINION

                Relator Keith Russell Judd, an inmate in federal prison, has filed a pro se petition for

writ of mandamus, asking this Court to order the district court to produce a copy of the record in the

underlying lawsuit that Judd has filed against the Texas Secretary of State and the Democratic Party

of the State of Texas. Judd asserts that he needs a copy of the record for use as an “appendix” in

another petition for writ of mandamus, this one relating to the district court’s alleged failure to rule

on his various motions for default judgment and summary judgment in the underlying suit.1

                Judd has failed to establish that he is entitled to the extraordinary relief

requested. See Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839-44 (Tex. 1992); Barnes v. State, 832 S.W.2d
424, 426 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1992, orig. proceeding); see also In re Hernandez,

No. 03-13-00002-CV, 2013 Tex. App. LEXIS 569, at *1-5 (Tex. App.—Austin Jan. 17, 2013,
