Narrative Opinion Summary
Michael David Bellow Jr. filed a petition for a writ of mandamus, seeking to compel the trial court to issue a pre-trial writ of habeas corpus in his criminal case. To succeed in a mandamus request, the relator must prove a clear and indisputable right to the relief sought and demonstrate that no other adequate legal remedy exists. The Court of Appeals for the Ninth District of Texas found that Bellow did not meet these requirements and therefore denied the petition for a writ of mandamus. The opinion was delivered on April 10, 2018, and was not intended for publication.
