COMES NOW,· BRYAN KEITH PRICE, Relator, pro se in, the above
styled cause of action and files this, his "ORIGINAL APPLICATION
FOR ~RIT OF MANDAMUS" and will show this Honorab le Court the
followin g: I. JURISDIC TION
Bryan Keith Price, TDCJ-ID No. 1846244 is an offender in
the Texas Departm ent of Crimina l Justice and is appearin g pro
se, who can be located at 59 Darringt on Rd, Rosharon Texas 77583, ' and That this honorab le Court has Jurisdic tion to entertai n
said "Writ of Mandamu s", pursuant to Art. 22.221. Governm ent
Code, Art. 1 S~rtion 10. Texas Constitution~ and U.S.C.A- Amend.
5:6: and 14.
II.
ACT SOUGHT IS MINISTERIAL
That your Relator filed was granted a "FREE" Reporter s
Record.b y the Honorab le Judqe Messer of the lOOth Judicial Dis-
trict of Collinas worth Countv. Texas on July llth,201 3and that
1. your Relato r has yet to lay eyes on the same due to Counse l's
neglige nce at the Appell ate level. Not only did appell ate counse l
not discuss the case at all with his "Clien t", but he failed
to allow his "Clien t" to view the reporte rs Record . What good
is a free Report ers Record to the appell ate if he cannot be
part of the review ing process ? Further more, an attorne y who
knows his client is indigen t is doing said client a tremend ous
disserv ice by not taking the time to make a copy of the "FREE"
Report ers Record for his client, since the chance s of winning
a direct appeal in the State of Texas are less than 2%, and this
extreme lack of consid eration on Counse l's part makes it virtua llv
imposs ible for the Appell ate to be able to adequa tely comole te
a reason able assessm ent of his Appell ate Counse l's work on said
direct appeal . as well as makinq it incred ibly touqh on his
Habeus Corpus procee ding. Your Relato r contac ted the State
bar regardi ng the lack of of commu nication from his attorne y,
and is enclosi ng said exhibi ts for purpos es of this Honora ble
Court's review .
Additi onally, your Relato r has filed a motion with the
lOOth Judici al distric t court in Colling sworth County , Texas
on Octobe r 17th, 2014 reques ting to review the transc ripts that
were to be "FREE" to him, and has yet to hear a respon se. Sub-
sequen tly, your Relato r sent a letter on Decemb er 18th, 2014
notifyi ng the lOOth Judici al Court that he has yet to hear from
them regardi ng this very import ant matter( SEE EXHIBIT S 1 AND
2.) The act reques ted by your Relato r is in fact minist erial
and your Relato r would enjoy an immedi ate respons e as the Court
has had said "MOTION" for 5 months , and his clock is ticking as
2. far as his Federally allocated AEDPA time, and he is in fact
already set way behind due to the Court's negligence regarding
a response in a matter so critical to your Relator.
III.
RELATOR HAS EXHAUSTED ALL HIS REMEDIES
Your Relator has in fact exhausted all of his remedies
and has no other remedy at law regarding this situation, as
previously noted.,
PRAYER
Your Relator prays that this Honorable Court grant him
this his petition for Writ of Mandamus, and require the lower
Court to rule on his Motion so that he may proceed accordingly.
Your Relator makes this showing in "GOOD FAITH" and asserts
that it is in the interest of Justice to compel the Respondant
to act on his Writ.

RE: Mr. Bryan Keith Price #01846244 Record: #647188
Dear Mr. Griffin:
Recently, Mr: Price contacted the Client-Attorney Assistance Program (CAAP). CAAP is a confidential dispute resolution program of the State Bar of Texas. Its objective is to facilitate communication and the transfer of documents to assist Texas lawyers and their clients in resolving minor concerns, disputes, or misunderstandings that impact the Attorney-Client relationship. In most cases, the issues do not rise to the level of a grievance. In others, CAAP is flble to help resolve problems that if neglected may become a grievance.
Mr. Price expressed concerns regarding the legal matter you are handling for him. He indicated that he has tried resolving this on his own but has been unsuccessful. Consequently, he requested that CAAP assist by contacting you. For your convenience, enclosed is a copy of his most recentcorrespondence, which appears to request a production of client file. Pease contact Mr. Price to address his concerns:
Mr. Bryan Keith Price #01846244 59 Darrington Rd. Rosharon, TX 77583
When responding to Mr. Price's concerns, please advise CAAP that communication has been re- established. If it is more convenient, you may cc CAAP without attachments on your written response via email, fax or letter so that we may continue to facilitate if necessary. If I can be of further assistance in resolving this issue, please contact me at (800) 204-2222 ext. 1777.
Sincerely,
