Opinion
TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-25-00351-CV
In re Luis Padilla
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM WILLIAMSON COUNTY
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator Luis Padilla, an inmate in Williamson County, has filed a pro se petition
for writ of habeas corpus complaining of miscellaneous issues relating to his arrest and detention
and seeking immediate release. We lack habeas jurisdiction of the underlying case because the
original habeas jurisdiction of a court of appeals is limited to cases in which “it appears that the
restraint of liberty is by virtue of an order, process, or commitment issued by a court or judge
because of the violation of an order, judgment, or decree previously made, rendered, or entered
by the court or judge in a civil case,” which is not the case here. Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.221(d
Accordingly, the petition is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
