MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE CERTIFICATE OF INTERESTED PERSONS
COMES NOW, Donald Adkins, Relator proceeding pro-se and ask
this Honorable Court for leave to file CERTIFICATE OF INTERESTED
PERSONS concerning the WRIT OF MANDAMUS that was just filed in
this Honorable Court on May 21, 2015, for the following reason:
I.
Relator is unskilled and untutored in criminal and civil law
and is trying to understand the law and rules to the best of his
abilities. For this Relator should not be held to the formal
pleadings drafted by lawyers. Hains v. Kerner, 92 S. Ct. 594, 596
(1972) .
For the foregoing reason Relator respectfully request this
Honorable Court review his Original Writ of Mandamus filed with
this Court on May 21, 2015, and not hold him to the same
standards as lawyers.
Respectfully Submitted,

To the Honorable Justices of the Twelfth Court of Appeals:
Please take into consideration that Relator is by no means a
lawyer, nor a paralegal. Relator is merely a layman of the law;
and, therefore, prays this Court review his Petition for Writ of
Mandamus with patience, liberality, and affording the greatest
relief that can be construed to his benefits and deserves in the
i nterest of justice.
Pro-Se pleadings are held to less stringent standards than
formal pleadings drafted by a lawyer, and thus an appellate court
will review such pleadings with patience and liberality. See
federal precedent, applied to TEXAS 'appellates' pleadings, In Re
Taylor. 28 S.W.3d at 245 (Tex.App.- Waco 2000), counsels:
"The United States Supreme Court has instructed that we hold pro-se
pleadings 'to less stringent standards than formal pleadings drafted by
lawyers'. Hains v. Kerner, 92 S. Ct. 594, 596 (1972; accord Zuniga
v. Zuniga, 13 S.W.3d 798, 803 (Tex.App. San Antonio 1999, no. pet.);
Barnes v. State, 832 S.W.2d 424, 426 (Tex.App. Houston rlst Dist.] 1992,
orig. proceeding), Birdo v. DeBose, 819 S.W.2d 212, 216 (Tex.App. Waco
1991, no writ). Thus, we review such pleadings 'with patience and
liberality.' Barnes, 832 S.W.2d at 426; accord Birdo, 819 S.W.2d at
216."
Relator presents the following issue to the best of
Relator's ability with utmost respect to this Honorable Court
Justi ces .
Respectfully Submitted,
