IN RE RALPH O. DOUGLAS, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

Relator Ralph O. Douglas has 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.  Relator is the plaintiff in a civil action pending in the 11th District Court, Harris County, Texas and seeks a writ of mandamus compelling the trial judge to rule on and grant his requests for entry of default judgment against the defendants.     

Relator has not established that he is entitled to mandamus relief.  Relator has attached to his petition letters indicating that he filed certain ARequest(s) for Entry of Default Judgment@ with the clerk of court.  However, relator has not neither presented proof of the actual requests, nor established that he properly presented his requests to the trial court. 

See Tex. R. Civ. Pro. 239, 107; Tex. R. App. Pro. 52.7(a)(1).  Accordingly, we deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus.

PER CURIAM

Petition Denied and Memorandum Opinion filed May 15, 2007.

Panel consists of Justices Anderson, Fowler, and Frost.
