                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Nathaniel Jones III filed a petition for writ of mandamus to compel the judge

of the 172nd District Court to act on a mandamus petition. 1 Jones states that he

filed the mandamus petition with the trial court on January 30, 2015, and that he

filed a request for a final order on February 12, 2015, but he provides no other

information about his trial court filings.2 Jones has not shown that he is entitled to


      1
         See generally Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 24.011 (West 2004) (a district judge
may grant a writ of mandamus necessary to the enforcement of the court’s
jurisdiction).
      2
        No mandamus record or appendix has been filed with the Court of
Appeals. See generally Tex. R. App. P. 52.3(k), 52.7. In addition to failing to
                                          1
mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See

Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).

      PETITION DENIED.

provide any usable information about his trial court filings, Jones filed a
declaration of inability to pay costs with the Court of Appeals without filing an
inmate trust account statement or an affidavit related to previous filings. See Tex.
Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 14.004 (West Supp. 2014), §14.006(f) (West
2002). Also, the mandamus petition lacks proof of service. See Tex. R. App. P. 9.5.
