ORIGINAL
PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
 

 
M E M O R
A N D U M   O P I N I O N
On June
8, 2009, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court.  See
Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also
Tex. R. App. P. 52.  In the petition, relator asked this court to compel the
judge of the 176th District Court of Harris County to rule on relator=s motion for DNA testing.

As the party seeking relief, relator had the burden of
presenting this court with a sufficient record to establish his right to
mandamus relief.  Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex. 1992). 
Relator has failed to meet this burden.  Relator included with his petition a
copy of a motion for DNA testing, but this copy bears no file stamp.  Relator has not established that he
is entitled to mandamus relief.  Accordingly, we deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus. 
 
PER CURIAM
 
Panel consists of Justices Seymore,
Brown, and Sullivan.
