O P I N I O N
Relator seeks a writ of mandamus to compel the trial court to respond to a motion he mailed on October 11, 2005. Relator states that he does not know the court or the trial cause number for his case. Relator has not provided a copy of the motion. To obtain mandamus relief in a criminal matter, the relator must establish: (1) the act sought to be compelled is ministerial, and (2) there is no adequate remedy at law. Dickens v. Court of Appeals for Second Supreme Judicial District of Texas, 727 S.W.2d 542, 548 (Tex.Crim.App. 1987). Based on the record before us, we are unable to conclude that Relator is entitled to the relief requested. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
