In re Christopher V. Acosta , Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator,

Christopher V. Acosta, has filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus, complaining

that the trial court has failed to act on his application for writ of habeas

corpus in the manner proscribed by law. [1] See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann . art. 11.07 §

3(c) (West 2005).

This Court does not have

jurisdiction over matters related to applications for writ of habeas corpus

under article 11.07. See Tex.

Code Crim. Proc. Ann . art. 11.07 §§ 3, 5; In re McAfee , 53 S.W.3d 715, 718 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.]

2001, orig. proceeding) (“Article 11.07 contains no role for the courts of

appeals; the only courts referred to are the convicting court and the Court of

Criminal Appeals). Accordingly, we dismiss

the petition for writ of mandamus for want of jurisdiction, and we dismiss

all outstanding motions as moot.

PER CURIAM

Panel

consists of Justices Jennings, Sharp, and Brown.
