IN RE DEWAYNE MARKS SHELTON, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, Dewayne Marks Shelton, filed in this Court a pro se petition for writ of mandamus asking that we order respondent to: (1) set an affordable amount of bail in cause number 967797; (2) rule on various pro se motions that relator alleges he filed in that case; (3) dismiss his court-appointed counsel and permit relator to represent himself; and (4) conduct a pretrial motions hearing. We deny the petition.
A writ of mandamus will issue to correct a clear abuse of discretion or the violation of a duty imposed by law when there is no adequate remedy at law. Canadian Helicopters Ltd. v. Wittig, 876 S.W.2d 304, 305 (Tex. 1994) (orig. proceeding). If the respondent trial court has a legal duty to perform a nondiscretionary act, the relator must make a demand for performance that the respondent refuses. Barnes v. State, 832 S.W.2d 424, 426 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1992, orig. proceeding). The relator must also provide 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 not provided us with a record that shows he filed any motions or otherwise requested relief from respondent. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.3(j).
Therefore, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
