TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-12-00618-CV
In re Ardell Nelson, Jr.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus largely complaining that the district
clerk and the district court had not properly prepared the record in an appeal filed from the district
court’s denial of relator’s motion for DNA testing. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8. The documents relator
seeks to have added to the file are not necessary to the appeal, however, and relator has not shown
that the district clerk or the district court have violated their ministerial duties or orders issued by
this Court. We deny the petition for writ of mandamus.
