Writ of Mandamus Dismissed.

MEMORANDUM OPINION
In his mandamus petition, relator complains that the trial judge has failed to recuse himself from relator's application for habeas corpus relief pursuant to Article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. The courts of appeals have no authority to issue writs of mandamus in criminal law matters pertaining to proceedings under article 11.07. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07, § 5 (Vernon 2005); In re McFee, 53 S.W.3d 715, 717-18 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, no pet.). Accordingly, we DISMISS relator's request for mandamus relief for want of jurisdiction. See Tex.R.App.P. 52.8.
