IN RE MARK ANTHONY PEREZ, Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator, Mark Anthony Perez, filed in this Court a petition for writ of

mandamus, complaining that respondent

has failed to require “Jones W. Roach” to

file an affidavit that relator needs for an article 11.07 writ of habeas corpus. See Tex.

Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 (Vernon Supp. 2005). We deny the petition. This Court has no authority to issue writs of mandamus in criminal law

matters pertaining to habeas corpus proceedings seeking relief from final felony

judgments. That jurisdiction lies exclusively with the Texas Court of Criminal

Appeals. See Board of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene v. Court of Appeals for the

Eighth District , 910 S.W.2d 481, 483 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995); In re McAfee , 53

S.W.3d 715, 717-18 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, orig. proceeding) ; Tex.

Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07, § 3 (Vernon Supp. 2005).

The petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack, and Justices Al cala and Bland.
