    STATEMENT   OF       THE   CASE
    This is a case in seeking a petition for writ of mandamus
    to issue an Order on the trial court judge to direct the court
    coordinator to docket this motion for Intra Loan of the Appellate
    Records that has been filed with the Court by the Clerk. The Court
    Coordinator has refused to set the matter for a hearing.
    Bruan Chance McBee appeals from his third-degree felony conviction
    for assault on a family member. See Tex.Penal Code Ann.§22.01(a)(1),
    (b)(2) (West Supp.2013). The jury found McBee guilty and assessed
    punishment at eight years in prison. McBee was convicted of assault
    ing T.P., a 47 year old female.
    Respondent is a judge Lisa Michalk, 221st Judicial District
    Court of Montgomery County, Texas, 207 W.Phillips St., Ste 300,
    Conroe, TX 77301
    Respondent Natalie Traylor, Assistant District Coordinator,
    Jennifer Wade of the 221st Judicial District Court of Montgomery
    County, Texas 207 S.Phillips St., Ste 300, Conroe, TX 77301
    The Respondents has failed to set the pleadings for a hearing
    on a motion to compel a ministerial act, not involving a discre
    tionary or judicial decision. The Clerk's Office filed the Motio
    To Compel on March 2, 2015, for the Court Coordinator to document
    the matters for hearing to allow the Clerk to bring the file
    to the trial court on the date of the hearing for an in chambers
    ruling, to allow the Relator the right for Intra Loan of the
    trial Clerk's records to be mailed to the Hamilton Unit Law Library
    Supervisor for checking out to the offender to review them for
    2 hour- sessions Monday through Saturday for 30 days to prepare
    1
    his petition.
    The Ninth Court of Appeals issued the Original Opinion on
    April 9, 2014. Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Johnson, JJ.,
    in No. 09-13-00232.-CR On Appeal from the 221st District Court
    Montgomery County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 13-04-03591-CR.
    STATEMENT OF   JURISDICTION
    This Court has jurisdiction pursuant to Government Code §
    22.221(a)(b)(c); Rule 53.2 Rules of Appellate Procedure.
    Courts will issue mandamus   to correct a clear abuse of dis
    cretion or the violation of a duty imposed by law when there
    is no other adequate remedy available by appeal.
    This Supreme Court has jurisidction to review the Ninth Court
    of Appeals Opinion decided on May 26, 2015.
    ISSUED PRESENTED
    Whether there is a conflict between the courts of appeals
    on an important point of law
    Whether the Court of Appeals had authority to review an
    extraordinary remedy
    on its own motion the court took notice sua sponte that it lacked
    jurisdiction over the case
    -Whether it is an abuse of discretion for the trial court
    has an official duty to manage the court supervision
    STATEMENT OF   FACTS
    The Clerk filed the Motion To Compel the Court Coordinator
    to these matters for a In Camera hearing on March 2, 2015, it
    has been pending over 30 days and no hearing has been documented
    as requested in a timely manner. Generally, a document is considered
    "filed when it is tendered to the clerk, or otherwise put under
    the custody or control of the clerk." A party seeking mandamus
    relief must show that (1) the trial court had a legal duty to
    act, (2) there was a demand for performance, and (3) there was
    a refusal to act. The trial judge is the supervisor over his
    court   to make   sure   that   all duties   are conducted in an ministrerial
    performance. These duties where neglected or refused by the court
    personnel or under the authority of the trial judge per se.
    SUMMARY OF THE AURGUMENT
    Trial court has discretion to change its mind about interlocutory
    orders so long as that change does not deprive a party of the
    opportunity to litigate the determinative issues in the case.
    "[A]s a general rule, the appellate courts, including this Court,
    should afford almost total deference to a trial court's determina
    tion of the historical facts that the record supports especially
    when the trial courts fact findings are based on an evaluation
    of credibility and demeanor.
    To ensure that mandamus remains extraordinary remedy, petitioners
    must show that they lack adequate alternative means to obtain
    relief they seek, and carry burden of showing that their right
    to issuance of writ is clear and indesputable.
    Verification is contained in the petition does qualify Inmate
    Litigation is a question of fact containing a challenge to receiving
    access to the Clerk's records to present the supporting facts
    to his claim are on file in the Court's record is entitled to
    leniency subject to supplement, subpeona of the records to be
    made available to the Courts on review per se. To apply a higher
    standard of review on the offender is considered a denial of
    access of a full review of   the merits of   the claim for review
    for a fact finding process. That would allow the Courts to gress
    at the proof of a material fact issue per se.
    Once jurisidction of an appellate court is invoked, [] exercise
    of its reviewing functions is limited only by its own discretion
    or a valid restrictive statute.
    ARGUMENT
    Petitioner presented a series of events that are ministerial
    duties of performance of the Court's personnel that is under
    a rule to provide access to the courts.Once the authority fails
    remedies becames an issue of   law.   Relator seeks mandamus relief
    from an alleged refusal by the trial court to rule on the motion
    to compel the coordinator to set these matters for a in camera
    hearing to allow the Clerk to bring the file to the Court for
    a ruling on his Motion For Intra Loan of the Appellate records
    of the Court for reviewing through the Hamilton Unit Law Library
    in   preparation of his petition to be filed in the trial court.
    See Memorandum Opinion Bryan Chance McBee petitioned for a writ
    of mandamus compelling the judge of the 221st District Court
    of Montgomery County to require the court coordinator to set
    for hearing McBee's motion for a loan of the duplicate record
    that was prepared for an appeal. See generally Tex.R.App.P. 34.5(g),
    34.6(h).
    Petitioner did present his claim in the area of loan of the
    record through an agency of the State of Texas Department of
    Criminal Justice - Institutional Division Hamilton Unit Law Lib
    rary Access to Courts personnel as a supervisor control and main
    tain the records under lock and key for the offender to check
    out Monday through Saturday session for 2 hours through a control
    log 183 sign out logging procedure. Which this procedure has
    been available to the offenders through the access to courts
    since 1996. This available access is being denied through of
    Rules or Procedures that the Court of Appeals has made their
    own sua sponte ruling on the facts of their discovery from the
    pleadings that where made available to them per se. See supra
    Rule 34.5(g) Additional copies of clerk's record in criminal
    cases. In criminal case, the clerk's record must be made in -"
    duplicate, and in a case in which the death penalty was assessed,
    in triplicate. The trial court clerk must retain the copy or
    copies for the parties: to use with the court's permission.
    Rules of Appellate Porcedure Rule 36.6(h) Additional copies
    of reporter's record in criminal cases. In a criminal case in
    which a party requests a reporter's record, the court reporter
    must prepare a duplicate of the reporter's record and file it
    with the trial court clerk. In a case where the death penalty
    was assessed, the court reporter must prepare two duplicates
    of the reporter's record.
    In this case the records was prepared by the Clerk and Court
    Reporter in Case No. 09-13-00232-CR and an opinion issued April
    5
    9, 2014. A copy of the records are maintained in the Ninth Court
    of Appreals from 25 years and 15 years in the trial court in
    Cause No.    13-04-03591-CR.   This   is not a case where   the records
    has not been prepared. The situation is where the defendant has
    not had the records to prepare his petition for discretionary
    review and/or a application for writ of habeas corpus pursuant
    to Article 11.07, § 2,3 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
    Government Code § 52.047. Transcripts
    (a) A person may apply for a transcript of the evidence in
    a case reported by an official court reporter. The person must
    apply for the transcript in writing to the official court reporter.
    The official court reporter shall furnish the transcript to the
    person not later than the 120th day after the date the:
    (1) application for the transcript is received by the reporter;
    and
    (2) transcript fee is paid or the person establishes indigency
    as provided by Rule 20, Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.
    Government Code § 411.194. Reduction of Fees Due to Indigency
    (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subchapter,
    the department shall reduce by 50 percent any fee required for
    the issuance of an original, duplicate, modified, or renewed
    license under this subchapter if the department determines that
    the applicant is indigent.
    (b) The department shall require an applicant requesting a
    reduction of a fee to submit proof of indigency with the application
    materials.
    (c) For purposes of this section, an applicant is indigent
    if the applicant's income is not more than 100 percent of the
    applicable income leve established by the federal poverty guidelines
    Government Code § 411.197 Rules
    The director shall adopt rules to administer this subchapter.
    Indigency, The state or condition of a person who lacks the
    means of subsistence; extremehardship or neediness; poverty.
    Indigent, A person who is found to be financially unable to
    pay filing fees and court costs and is allowed to proceed in
    forma pauperis. The Supreme Court has recognized an indigent
    petitioner's right to have certain fees and costs waived in divorce
    and termination-of-parental-rights cases. Boddie v. Connecticut,
    
    91 S. Ct. 780
    (1971); M.L.B. v. S.L.J., 
    117 S. Ct. 555
    (1996).
    Government Code § Prohibited Fees § 51.606
    A clerk is not entitiled to a fee for:
    (1) the examination of a paper or record in the clerk's office;
    (2) filing any process or document the clerk issues that is
    returned to court;
    (3) a motion or judgment on a motion for security for costs;or
    (4) taking or approving a bond for costs.
    In the instant case, petitioner is confronted with a question
    of f act of a shifting procedure. See Memorandum Opinion indicating:
    McBee does not contend that the trial court retains plenary
    power over the criminal case. We issued a mandate of affirmance
    in July 2014. See generally McBee v. State, No. 09-13-00232-CR,
    
    2014 WL 1400656
    , at *5 (Tex.App.-Beaumont Apr. 9, 2014, pet.ref'd)
    (mem. op.) (affirming judgment as modified).
    There is no active habeas proceeding; accordingly,   this Court
    has mandamus jurisdiction. See Padieu v. Court of Appeals of
    Tex., Fifth Dist., 
    392 S.W.3d 115
    , 117-18 (Tex.Crim.App.2013).
    However, the mandamus petition lacks certified or sworn copies
    of "every document that is material to the relator's claim for
    relief[.]" See Tex.R.App.P. 52.7(a)(1). McBee suggest he cannot
    provide copies of documents because he is a prisoner. McBee also
    failed to provide proof of service on the respondent and the
    prosecuting attorney. See Tex.R.App.P. 9.5.
    Petitioner prepared a certification at the end of his petition
    [that every factual statement in the petition is supported by
    competent evidence in the Clerk's record of the 221st District
    Court of Montgomery County, Texas. On this 7th day of May 2015.]
    Petitioner had seeked mandamus relief from ah.alleged refusal
    by the trial court to rule on the motion to compel the Court
    Coordinator to set these matters for a in camera hearing to allow
    the Clerk to bring the file to the Court for a ruling on his
    Motion For Intra Loan of the Appellate records of the court for
    reviewing through the Hamilton Unit Law Library in preparation
    of his petition to be filed in the trial court.
    A party seeking mandamus relief must show that (1) the trial
    court had a legal duty" to act, (2) there was a demand for perform
    ance, and (3) there was a refusal to act. Stoner v. Massey, 
    586 S.W.2d 843
    , 846 (Tex.1979). Showing that a motion was filed with
    the clerk does not constitute proof that the motion was brought
    8
    to the attention of the trial court.         In re Davidson, 
    153 S.W.3d 490
    , 491 (Tex.App.-Amarillo 2004, orig. proceeding). The trial
    court is not required to consider a motion unless it is called
    to its attention. Metzer v. State, 
    892 S.W.2d 20
    , 49 (Tex.App.-
    Houston [1st Dist.] 1994, writ denied. McBee contends: that the
    Motion for Intra Loan of the Transcription, records, statements
    was mailed to the Court Coordinator Jennifer Wade,             221st District
    Court of Montgomery CountyCourthouse on or about January 12,
    2015, for setting a hearing and filing it with the Clerk ...
    many letters making all attempts to receive communications of
    the filing and setting of an in camera hearing for a ruling.
    But, relator did not receive a copy returned stamped filed of
    the Motion To Compel on March 2, 2015.
    To   the extend McBee   asks   this   Court   to direct   the District
    Judge to direct the Court Coordinator to set the matters for
    in camera hearing to allow the Clerk to bring the file to the
    Court ... at the earliest possible date for a ruling.
    The District Court is the Supervisor over his or her Court
    personnel ...
    A party seeking mandamus relief must establish that the party
    has no adequate remedy by appeal. Walker v. Packer, 827, 833, 842
    (Tex.1992). McBee has demonstrated that he could not challenge
    the lack of a ruling and no appeal is available by direct appeal.
    Relator argues that if there has been a clear abuse of discr-
    tion and there is no adequate remedy by appeal, mandamus will issue*
    The legislature has prescribed jurisdiction of a court of
    appeals to issue writs of mandamus (1) to enforce its jurisdiction.
    (2) against judges of district and county courts in the district
    of the particular court of appeals. Tex.Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221
    (vernon 1988 & Supp.2006). Mandamus is a legal remedy. Westerman
    v. Mims, 
    111 Tex. 29
    , 
    227 S.W. 178
    , 181 (1921), even though equit
    able principles apply. Rivercenter Assoc, v. Rivera, 
    858 S.W.2d 366
    , 367 (Tex.1993); Callahan v. Giles, 
    131 Tex. 571
    , 
    155 S.W.2d 793
    , 795 (194 ). A writ of mandamus is an extraordinary remedy
    that will issue only to correct a clear abuse of discretion or
    the violation of a duty imposed by law, when there is no other
    adequate remedy by law. Canadian Helicopters Ltd. v. Wittig,
    
    876 S.W.2d 304
    , 305 (Tex.1994).
    Consideration of a motion properly filed and before a trial
    court is ministerial. See White v. Reiter, 
    640 S.W.2d 586
    , 596
    (Tex.Crim.App.1982). Fundamental requirements of due process
    mandate an opportunity to be heard. Creel v. District Atty.for
    Medina County, 
    818 S.W.2d 45
    , 46 (Tex.1991). Thus, a district
    court may be compelled via mandamus to consider and rule on a
    pending motion presented to the court. See State ex rel. Curry
    v. Gray, 
    726 S.W.2d 125
    , 128 (Tex.Crim.App.1987). Mandamus, however,
    will not issue to compel a particular result in a discretionary
    decision on a motion.   Id.: 
    White. 640 S.W.2d at 593-94
    .
    The applicant for a writ of habeas copus has the burden of
    proving his allegations by a preponderance of the evidence. Eniatt
    v. State, 
    206 S.W.3d 657
    , 664 (Tex.Crim.App.2006). In reviewing
    application, we must review the record evidence in the light
    most favorable to the trial court's ruling, and we must uphold
    10
    that ruling absent an abuse of discretion. 
    Id. We decide
    whether
    a trial court abused its discretion by determining whether the
    court acted without reference to any guiding rules or principles,
    or in other words, whether the court acted arbitrarily or unreason
    ably. Lyles v. State, 
    850 S.W.2d 497
    , 502 (Tex.Crim.App.1993).
    A    trial court abuses   its discretion when      its decision   lies   outside
    of the zone of reasonable disagreement. Montgomery v. State,
    
    810 S.W.2d 372
    , 391 (tex.Crim.App.1980) (op.on reh'g).
    Under Article 11.07, a person who files a habeas corpus appli
    cation for relief from a final felony conviction must challenge
    either the fact or length of confinement. Ex parte Lockett, 
    956 S.W.2d 41
    , 42 (Tex.Crim.App.1997). In this case, the question
    is whether a person who has discharged his sentence prior to
    filing an application, but who continues to suffer collateral
    consequences arising from the challenged conviction, is entitled
    to     seek post-conviction habeas relief under Article 11.07. Ex
    parte Harrington, 
    310 S.W.3d 452
    (Tex.Crim.App.2010).
    Petitioner is   in an area   that   this   Court can assist with    the
    circumstances of the mere fact that with out the Clerk's records
    a petitioner is unable to support his application and this Court
    has the authority to clearly establish a standing to challenge
    the     conviction. See Memorandum Opinion Bryan Chance McBee appeals
    from his third-degree felony conviction for assault on a family
    member. See Tex.Penal Code Ann. § 22.01(a)(1), (b)(2) (West Supp.
    2013). The jury found McBee guilty and assessed punishment at
    eight years in prison. McBee was convicted of assaulting T.P.,
    11
    a 47 year old female.
    McBee argues on appeal that the evidence was legally insuffic
    ient to support his conviction, and that the trial court abused
    its discretion in assessing attorney fees against him. We conclude
    the evidence was legally sufficient to support his conviction,
    but we otherwise modify the judgment to delete the assessment
    of attorney fees against McBee, and we affirm the judgment as
    modified.
    This case has a serious problem with ineffective, assistance
    of counsel in the trial and appeal and the record will demonstrate
    the supporting facts that the appeal was improperly challenged
    that is a procedural default in the challenge to the sufficiency
    of the "evidence that was wrongful raised pursuant to an area
    of law that is incorrect for the standard of review. See In re
    Reece, 
    341 S.W.3d 360
    (Tex.2011). Further, Mandamus is an "extraordinary
    remedy, not issued as a matter of right, but at the discretion
    of the court," in Reprudential Ins. Co. of Am, 148 S.W3d 124 (Tex.
    2004) (orig. proceeding). "Mandamus review of significant rulings
    in exceptional cases may be essential to preserve important sub
    stantive and procedural rights from impairment or loss ..." Id.at
    136. Mandamus is a remedy not restricted by "rigid rules" that
    are "necessarily inconsistent with the flexibility that is the
    remedy's principle virtue." Id:;; See also In re 
    McAllen, 275 S.W.3d at 464
    (noting that whether a clear abuse of discretion
    can be remedied on appeal "depends heavily on circumstances; it
    must be guided by analysis or principle rather than simple rules
    12
    t!"iat treat cases as categories"), and mandamus is a proper vehicle
    for this court to correct blatant injustice that otherwise would
    elude review by the appellate court.
    Generally, a party is entitled to mandamus relief against a
    public official when there is (1) a legal duty to perform a non-
    discretionary act, (2) a demand for performance of that act,
    and (3) a refual to perform. Anderson v. City of Seven Points,
    
    806 S.W.2d 791
    , 793 (Tex.1991). See Mattox v. Grimes County Com'er
    Court, 
    305 S.W.3d 375
    (Tex.App.Houston [14th Dist.] 2010). An a^t
    is non-discretionary, or ministerial, and subject to mandamus
    relief, when the law clearly spells out the duty to be performed
    by the official with sufficient certainty that nothing is left
    to   the exercise of   discretion.
    PRAYER
    For the foregoing reasons, this Court should find that the
    Respondent is the Supervior of the 221st District Court of Mont
    gomery County, Texas, and that the Motion for Intra Loan of the
    trial records has been filed by the Court Coordinator and refused
    to document the Motion and the Motion to Compel the Court Coordinator
    to set these matters for an in camera hearing for a ruling.
    Respondent is direct to set, hear and rule on relator's Motion
    to Review the Trial/Appellate Records within a reasonable time.
    WHEREFORE PREMISES AND CONSIDERED Petitioner prays that this
    Court will grant petition in leave to proceed on writ of mandamus
    by treating the pleadings as petition for review in all things
    requested. We anticipate that respondent will comply with in
    a reasonable manner by ordering the trial court to rule on Motion
    13
    to Compel. Or in the alternative grant further relief justly
    entitled.

    In The
    Court ofAppeals
    Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont
    NO. 09-15-00179-CR
    IN RE BRYAN CHANCE MCBEE
    Original Proceeding
    MEMORANDUM OPINION
    Bryan Chance McBee petitioned for a writ of mandamus compelling the
    judge of the 221st District Court of Montgomery County to require the court
    coordinator to set for hearing McBee's motion for a loan of the duplicate record
    that was prepared for an appeal. See generally Tex. R. App. P. 34.5(g), 34.6(h).
    McBee does not contend that the trial court retains plenary power over the criminal
    case.1
    There is no active habeas proceeding; accordingly, this Court has mandamus
    jurisdiction. See Padieu v. Court ofAppeals of Tex., Fifth Dist., 
    392 S.W.3d 115
    ,
    'We issued a mandate of affirmance in July 2014. See generally McBee v.
    State, No. 09-13-00232-CR, 
    2014 WL 1400656
    , at *5 (Tex. App.—Beaumont Apr.
    9, 2014, pet. refd) (mem. op.) (affirming judgment as modified).
    117-18 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013). However, the mandamus petition lacks certified or
    sworn copies of "every document that is material to the relator's claim for relief[.]"
    See Tex. R. App. P. 52.7(a)(1)- McBee suggests he cannot provide copies of
    documents because he is a prisoner. McBee also failed to provide proof of service
    on the respondent and the prosecuting attorney. See Tex. R. App. P. 9.5.
    The petition nevertheless demonstrates that McBee is not entitled to
    mandamus relief because he has not shown that he has a clear and indisputable
    right to the requested relief. See In re Williams, No. 09-09-00584-CV, 
    2010 WL 183861
    , at *1 (Tex. App.—Beaumont Jan. 21, 2010, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.);
    see also In re Cash, No. 06-04-00045-CV, 
    2004 WL 769473
    , at *1 (Tex. App.—
    Texarkana Apr. 13, 2004, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.) (A trial court has no duty to
    rule on "free-floating motions unrelated to currently pending actions.").
    The relator has not shown that he           is   entitled to   mandamus   relief.
    Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus.
    PETITION DENIED.
