IN RE BOBBY JONES, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

On August 23, 2007, relator, Bobby Jones, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court.  See Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.  In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Brock Thomas, presiding judge of the 338th District Court of Harris County to provide him with a free copy of his trial record for use in habeas corpus proceedings.^[1]

Relator has not established his entitlement to the extraordinary relief of a writ of mandamus.  Accordingly, we deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus. 

PER CURIAM

Petition Denied and Memorandum Opinion filed October 23, 2007.

Panel consists of Chief Justice Hedges, and Justices Anderson and Seymore.

            ^[1]  Relator also seeks to compel Charles Bacarrisse, District Clerk of Harris County, to provide him with a free copy of his trial record.  However, we do not have mandamus authority over Bacarrise.  See Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 22.221.
