                                            I.
  Relator is an offender incarcerated in the TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINAL JU-
STICE-ID AND CAN he located at 899 f.m. 632,Kenedv,Tx. 78119.
 Relator has exhausted his remedies and has no other adequate remedy at law.

                                            II.

  The Court of AoPeals has jurisdiction to consider and issue order of writ of
mandamus. PADILLA v. McDANIEL,l22 S.W. 3d 805(TEX.CRIM.APP~2003}.
  An a district court may be compelled via mandamus to consider and ru,le on a
oendinq motion presented to the court.see,STATE exrel.CURRY v. GRAY,726 s.w.
2d 12:5,128 (TEX.CRIM.APP.l987}.
                                            III.
  The act souqht to comoelled is m.iniste_rial, not discret:ionarv in natur.e. Re-
lator has orooerly filed a motion with the 313th district court,sittinq as a
juvenile court,   ~equestinq      for an order to be     ~ssued ~or ~nsoection   and/or
purchase a copy of certification records.
  Relator motion was filed on       12-J,6-14.see,E~-A     fmotion to insoect,retain,and/
or purchase J • Relator the filed a letter with the 313th district court request•
inq for a ruling on his motion on 1-lS~lS.see,EX-13 fletter requesting a ruling
on motionl. But Resoondent has abused his discretion where he refuses to con-
sider anq ru,J,e on   Rel~tor's   motion.

                                                  3
  ResP<)hdent has a ininiste_rial duty.to rul~ on R~lator's motion that has been
                                                         I

properly filed before the court.see,WHITE v. REITER,640 s.w. 2d 586,594fTEX.
CRIM.APP. 19821.
 Fundamental requirements of due process mandates an OO)POrtunity to be heard.
CREEL   v.   DISTRICT ATTY. FoR MeDINA C00NTY,818 S.W.       ~d   45,46 f'I'EX.199],1: In Re-
CHRISTENSEN,39 S.W. 3d 250fTEX.APP.-AMARILLO 20001.
 From Relator's motion and letter,its clear that he has reoeatly put Resoonden4
on notice that Relator seeks an order to be issued to inspect/or purchase a
certified copy of certification records,and such records are required to oro-
ceed in in appealinq the order of transfer.
 Relator has gone well beYond any requj,re_ments or obligations imposed upon hilll
by law. Relator has    no,;other~;a:dequate   remedy by l:aw to .inspect/or purchase a
copy of said records.
  In contrast to Relator's efforts Respandent has whooly failed to comply with
TEX, FAM. CODE ANN.§ 58.003fh1,and to adhere to a ministerial duty.

                                   PRAYER OF RELIEF
