                                                                        IN RE:

JODY BELCHER

                                                                                                  

                                                                                                                            

                                                     Original Mandamus Proceeding

                                                                                                  

                                          Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.

                                        Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss

                                                                             

                                                                             


                                                      MEMORANDUM OPINION

            Jody Belcher was sentenced for a conviction in Harrison County.  He filed a motion for judgment nunc pro tunc requesting the trial court “to set the record straight as to the flat time served and credited.”  Claiming he was denied fifty-six days of time served, he asked the trial court to “forward a corrected copy of his time credits to the . . . Institutional Division in Huntsville, Texas.”  Belcher’s pro se petition for writ of mandamus asks this Court to correct the judgment “to reflect the appropriate time credit.” 

            Unfortunately, Belcher’s petition fails to include a record, including any judgment of conviction and the name of the trial judge.  Further, there is no indication that a ruling has been made on the motion for judgment nunc pro tunc. 

            Mandamus is an extraordinary remedy that issues only to correct a clear abuse of discretion or violation of a duty imposed by law when no other adequate remedy by law is available.  State v. Walker, 679 S.W.2d 484, 485 (Tex. 1984).  Due to the nature of this remedy, it is Belcher’s burden to properly request and show entitlement to the mandamus relief.  See generally Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding); Barnes v. State
