In re JIMMY BRIGGS, Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

          Relator, Jimmy Briggs, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus.  See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.  Relator requests this Court to vacate the trial court’s order sustaining the district clerk’s contest to his declaration of inability to pay costs and to allow him to proceed in the trial court “without prepayment of fees.”[1] 

          We deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Keyes, Higley, and Bland.
