No. 05-11-00819-CV
Opinion Filed July 11, 2011.
Original Proceeding from the Criminal District Court No. 5, Dallas County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. F01-23841-L.
Before Justices O'NEILL, LANG, and LANG-MIERS.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
The Court has received relator's "Pro Se Appellant's Brief." Relator does not have an appeal pending before this Court, so we construe the brief as a petition for writ of mandamus. Relator complains that his motion for a free copy of the record in his criminal case, which he sought in order to prepare a petition for habeas corpus, was denied. The facts and issues are well known to the parties, so we need not recount them herein. This Court does not have jurisdiction over relator's petition. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 (West Supp. 2010); In re Hampton, No. 05-07-00440-CV, 2007 WL 1168446, at *1 (Tex. App.-Dallas Apr. 20, 2007, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.). Accordingly, we DISMISS relator's petition for writ of mandamus for want of jurisdiction.
