Opinion
IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-23-00214-CR
EX PARTE BRYAN STALLWORTH
Original Proceeding
From the 12th District Court Walker County, Texas Trial Court No. 30582
MEMORANDUM OPINION
In this proceeding, Bryan Stallworth, acting pro se, has filed an original application
for a writ of habeas corpus. The courts of appeals, however, have no original habeas-
corpus jurisdiction in criminal matters. Ex parte Braswell, 630 S.W.3d 600, 601 (Tex.
App.—Waco 2021, orig. proceeding).
In addition to requesting habeas relief, Stallworth also asks in his application that
this Court order the district attorney to disclose certain evidence to him. But this Court
does not have mandamus jurisdiction over a district attorney. In re Smith, No. 03-19- 00734-CV, 2019 WL 6121405, at *1 (Tex. App.—Austin Nov. 19, 2019, orig. proceeding)
(mem. op.); see TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221.
Accordingly, this proceeding is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
MATT JOHNSON Justice
