*2 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 r e l i e f 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.

"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.

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 .
