Opinion

No. 05-11-00838-CV

Opinion issued July 12, 2011.

Original Proceeding from the 354th Judicial District Court, Hunt County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. 22,499.

Before Justices O'NEILL, LANG, and LANG-MIERS.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


The Court has before it relator's petition for writ of mandamus. Relator complains that the trial court has not ruled on 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. 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.
