IN RE BILFORD DWIGHT JUNIOUS, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

MEMORANDUM OPINION

            On May 13, 2010, Relator, Bilford Dwight Junious, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court.  See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann §22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.1.  Relator complains of the trial court’s ruling on the District Clerk’s contest to his affidavit of indigence.

            The Rules of Appellate Procedure require that the appendix to a petition for writ of mandamus contain “a certified or sworn copy of any order complained of, or any other document showing the matter complained of[.]”  Tex. R. App. P. 52.3(k)(1)(A).  Relator failed to attach the trial court’s order to his petition.  Because relator’s petition does not contain the order sustaining the District Clerk’s contest as required by the Rules of Appellate Procedure, relator has not demonstrated his entitlement to mandamus relief.  Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus.

                                                            PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Anderson, Frost, and Seymore.
