IN RE THOMAS FREEMAN, Relator


Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus


MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator, Thomas Freeman, has filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 22.221(b) (Vernon 2004); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 52.1. Relator contends that "the trial court erred when it failed to address [his] plea to its jurisdiction" and "when it continued to press forward to trial date without resolving the jurisdiction question." Relator requests this Court to order the trial court "to follow the law or in the alternative, [to] rule that [the trial court] does not have jurisdiction over [relator] and that all the charges against him should be dismissed."

Respondent is The Honorable David Mendoza, presiding judge of the 178th District Court of Harris County, Texas. The underlying suit is The State of Texas v. Thomas Freeman, No. 1280765 in the 178th District Court of Harris County, Texas, The Hon. David Mendoza, presiding.

We deny the petition for writ of mandamus.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Keyes, Higley, and Massengale. Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
