in Re Jose Isaac Reyes

Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-13-00148-CV

In re Jose Isaac Reyes

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM HIDALGO COUNTY

M E M O R AN D U M O P I N I O N

Relator Jose Isaac Reyes petitions for a writ of mandamus concerning a habeas corpus

application in a Hidalgo County district court. However, Hidalgo County is not within this

Court’s territorial jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. §§ 22.201(d) (West Supp. 2012) (listing

twenty-four counties in Third Court of Appeals’s district), 22.221(b) (West 2004) (authorizing

appellate courts to issue writs of mandamus within its district).

The petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R.

App. P. 52.8(a).
