MEMORANDUM OPINION
Antonio Jones filed a petition for a writ of mandamus. We notified Jones of
certain defects in his petition. In his amended mandamus petition, Jones makes
conclusory statements that he has been deprived of a pretrial detention hearing, that
the trial court failed to follow article 15.17 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure,
that the trial court denied a bail request, that the trial court violated Jones’s rights
under the 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, and 14th Amendments to the United States Constitution
in a manner not described in the petition, and that double jeopardy is implicated for
reasons not explained in the petition.
1 To establish a right to mandamus relief in a criminal case, the relator must
show that he has no adequate remedy at law and that he seeks to compel a ministerial
act. In re State ex rel. Weeks, 391 S.W.3d 117, 122 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013) (orig.
proceeding). The relator must provide the Court with a sufficient record to establish
his right to mandamus relief. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.3(h), (k), 52.7(a)(1). Jones failed
to provide a record of certified or sworn documents sufficient to support his
mandamus petition. Jones failed to supply argument and supporting authority for his
bare complaints. We conclude Jones has not shown that he is entitled to mandamus
relief. Accordingly, we deny the petition for a writ of mandamus. See Tex. R. App.
P. 52.8(a).
PETITION DENIED.
