IN RE EDWARD C. HARRISON, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

On July 21, 2003, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court.  See Tex. Gov=t. Code Ann. ' 22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.  In his petition, relator seeks to have this court order his release from confinement because the trial court has violated his right to a speedy trial.  The petition fails to meet the requirements of Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 52.  Moreover, mandamus will not issue when relator has an adequate remedy at law.  See Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 840 (Tex. 1992).

We deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus.

PER CURIAM

Petition Denied and Memorandum Opinion filed July 31, 2003.

Panel consists of Chief Justice Brister and Justices Fowler and Edelman.
