that there is no adequate remedy by appeal. !d. at 135-36. Mandamus may issue to compel a

trial court to rule on a motion which has been pending before the court for a reasonable period of

time. See In re Shredder Co., 225 S.W.3d 676, 679 (Tex.App.--El Paso 2006, orig. proceeding);

In re Hearn, 137 S.W.3d 681, 685 (Tex.App.--San Antonio 2004, orig. proceeding); In re

Chavez, 62 S.W.3d 225,228 (Tex.App.--Amarillo 2001, orig. proceeding). To obtain mandamus

relief for such refusal, a relator must establish: (1) the motion was properly filed and has been
                                                                                                     '·' ..

pending for a reasonable time; (2) the relator requested a ruling on the motion; and (3) the trial

court refused to rule. See Shredder Co., 225 S.W.3d at 679; Hearn, 137 S.W.3d at 685; Chavez,

62 S.W.3d at 228.     Relator has failed to establish that he is entitled to mandamus relief.

Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus.
