                    In The
              Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana


                  No. 06-16-00042-CR




             IN RE REGINALD D. REECE




             Original Mandamus Proceeding




      Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ.
        Memorandum Opinion by Justice Burgess
                       MEMORANDUM OPINION
        Relator, Reginald D. Reece, proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus

asking this Court to make a finding that the Honorable Leon F. Pesek, Jr., presiding judge of the

202nd Judicial District Court of Bowie County, Texas, failed to credit his sentence for sixteen

months he spent in the “constructive custody” of Cass County, Texas, and the Arkansas

Department of Corrections by virtue of a warrant stemming from a Bowie County bond forfeiture.

Reece also asks this Court to enter an order awarding him sixteen months credit for time served in

jail.

        In his petition, Reece states that the trial court previously entered a nunc pro tunc judgment

of conviction wherein Reece was given credit for time served while he was confined in the Bowie

County jail. Reece’s petition for writ of mandamus reveals only that he is dissatisfied with the

entry of the trial court’s nunc pro tunc judgment.

        To be entitled to mandamus relief in a criminal case, a relator must show that he has no

adequate remedy at law to redress his alleged harm and that the act he seeks to compel is purely

ministerial. State ex rel. Young v. Sixth Judicial Dist. Court of Appeals at Texarkana, 236 S.W.3d

207, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 2007) (orig. proceeding). An act is ministerial if it does not involve

the exercise of any discretion. State ex rel. Hill v. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Dist., 34 S.W.3d

924, 927 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001) (orig. proceeding). It is relator’s burden to provide this Court

with a sufficient record to establish his right to mandamus relief. See Walker v. Packer, 827

S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3, 52.7.


                                                  2
       Reece failed to provide this Court with a judgment of conviction, a nunc pro tunc judgment

of conviction, or even the offense of which he has been charged and on which he is being held.

Instead, he offers a conclusory statement that the trial court failed to award him sufficient credit

for time served. Reece has wholly failed to meet his burden of showing that he is entitled to

mandamus relief.

       Consequently, we deny his request.
