MEMORANDUM OPINION ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
Jose Manuel Bejarano, pro se, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus requesting this Court to direct the Judge the 112th Judicial District Court of Pecos County, Texas to conduct a “double jeopardy hearing,” and to dismiss the criminal case pending against Relator.
In order to obtain relief through a writ of mandamus, a relator must establish: (1) no other adequate remedy at law is available and (2) that the act he seeks to compel is ministerial. State ex rel. Young v. Sixth Judicial Dist. Court of Appeals At Texarkana, 236 S.W.3d 207, 210 (Tex.Crim.App. 2007). An act is ministerial if it does not involve the exercise of any discretion. State ex rel. Hill v. Court of Appeals for the Fifth District, 34 S.W.3d 924, 927 (Tex.Crim.App. 2001). Based on the petition and record provided, Relator has not demonstrated he is entitled to mandamus relief. See Tex.R.App.P. 52.8. The mandamus relief requested is therefore DENIED.
