In re Christopher Tremane Saunders

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM BELL COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Christopher Tremane Saunders has filed an original petition for writ of habeas

corpus in this Court. The petition for writ of habeas corpus is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.1

See Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.221(d) (court of appeals may issue writ of habeas corpus when person

is restrained because “of the violation of an order, judgment, or decree previously made, rendered,

or entered by the court or judge in a civil case”); see also Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.05 (listing

courts with authority to issue writ of habeas corpus in criminal proceedings).
