Petition for Writ of Mandamus Denied and Memorandum Opinion filed November 18, 2010.
In The
Fourteenth Court of Appeals
NO. 14-10-01074-CR
In Re Kenneth Williams, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On November 4, 2010, relator Kenneth Williams filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. §22.221 (West 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Lonnie Cox, presiding judge of the 56th District Court of Galveston County, to grant him bail pending appeal.
No motion for bond pending appeal is attached to relator’s petition. When seeking a writ of mandamus a relator must show that the trial court received, was aware of, and was asked to rule on the motion. In re Villarreal, 96 S.W.3d 708, 710 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 2003, orig. proceeding). Because no motion is attached to relator’s petition, our record does not reflect that relator requested bond pending appeal from the trial court.
Relator has not established entitlement to the extraordinary relief of a writ of mandamus. Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Anderson, Frost, and Brown.
