in Re: Perry Patterson
Opinion
Mandamus Dismissed and Opinion Filed November 21, 2013.
S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-13-01604-CV
IN RE PERRY PATTERSON, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 283rd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F08-11133-P
MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices FitzGerald, Lang, and Fillmore Opinion by Justice Lang In this original mandamus proceeding, relator contends the trial court has violated a
ministerial duty under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure article 11.07, section 3(c) by not
sending relator copies of the documents relator requested, as well as by not ruling on relator’s
application for post-conviction writ of habeas corpus and evidentiary hearing request. The facts
and issues are known to the parties, so we need not recite them herein. This Court has no
jurisdiction over post-conviction habeas corpus proceedings under article 11.07. See TEX. CODE
CRIM. PROC. ANN. arts. 11.05, 11.07 (West 2005); In re McFee, 53 S.W.3d 715, 717–18 (Tex.
App.––Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, orig. proceeding) (per curiam). Accordingly, we dismiss
relator’s petition for writ of mandamus for want of jurisdiction.
