Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-26-00057-CV

In re Charles Deus

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Charles Deus petitions for mandamus relief directing the trial court to hold a

hearing on his Motion to Re-Instate Access. But Deus has not provided a record of any

correspondence with the trial court or appropriate court administrator expressly requesting a

hearing. He thus has failed to show entitlement to mandamus relief. See In re Golz,

No. 03-25-00847-CV, 2025 WL 3071578, at *1 (Tex. App.—Austin Nov. 4, 2025, orig.

proceeding) (mem. op.); see also In re Tarkington, No. 03-23-00305-CV, 2023 WL 4494829, at *1

(Tex. App.—Austin July 13, 2023, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.) (relator when seeking mandamus

relief directing trial court to set hearing must provide record sufficient to support relief). The

petition for a writ of mandamus is denied. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a), (d).
