evidence, the possibility of commutation of her sentence, and whether the sentence imposed was harmful.1 Osorio does not state whether she appealed her conviction.
The sole method for collaterally attacking a felony conviction is an application for writ of habeas corpus as described in Article 11.07 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. See In re Harrison, 187 S.W.3d 199, 200 (Tex. App.—Texarkana 2006, orig. proceeding); In re Brown, No. 14-08-00022-CV, 2008 WL 450274, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] Feb. 21, 2008, orig. proceeding); TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 11.07. Because the remedy afforded by Article 11.07 is adequate, relator has not shown that she is entitled to mandamus relief. See State ex. Rel. Young v. Sixth Jud. Dist. Court of Appeals, 236 S.W.3d 207, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 2007) (to obtain mandamus relief in criminal case, relator must show act sought to be compelled is ministerial and relator lacks adequate remedy at law).
We deny relator’s petition.
