IN THE COURT OF APPEALS
TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT
TYLER, TEXAS
§
IN RE: KENNETH LEON SNOW, § ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
RELATOR
§
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
Kenneth Leon Snow seeks a writ of mandamus compelling the trial court to withdraw Snow’s “involuntary” guilty plea, (2) vacate his sentence, which he alleges is void, and (3) return Snow to the position he occupied prior to entering his guilty plea.
The party seeking mandamus relief has the burden to provide a record sufficient to establish his entitlement to such relief. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex. 1992). To that end, the relator in a mandamus proceeding must file along with his petition a certified or sworn copy of every document that is material to his claim for relief and that was filed in any underlying proceeding. Tex. R. App. P. 52.3(j)(1)(A), 52.7(a)(1). Here, Snow did not provide copies of any documents that are material to his claim for relief. Consequently, he has failed to meet his burden to provide a record sufficient to establish his entitlement to relief. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
Opinion delivered February 9, 2007.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Griffith, J., and Hoyle, J.
