                              Original Proceeding
              284th District Court of Montgomery County, Texas
                         Trial Cause No. 17-05-06174
________________________________________________________________________

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Proceeding pro se, Relator, Alex Melvin Wade Jr., filed a mandamus petition

to compel the trial court to rule on his motion for appointment of counsel in a civil

suit and to stay all proceedings pending final resolution of Wade’s motions. On

November 14, 2018, we notified Wade that because it appears he is a vexatious

litigant subject to prefiling orders, the mandamus proceeding would be dismissed

unless within ten days he obtained an order from the local administrative judge

permitting the filing of the original proceeding. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code
                                         1
Ann. §§ 11.101–.104 (West 2017). To date, we have not received a copy of an order

signed by the local administrative judge. See id. § 11.102. Accordingly, we dismiss

the original proceeding for a mandamus petition. See id. § 11.1035(b).

      PETITION DISMISSED.


                                                                PER CURIAM
