Writ of Mandamus Dismissed, Opinion issued February 24, 2012
Original Proceeding from the Criminal District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. W03-73517-H
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Morris, Richter, and Lang-Miers
Opinion by Justice Richter
Before the Court is relator's petition for writ of mandamus complaining the Dallas County District Clerk has failed to follow the proper procedures regarding relator's application for post- conviction writ of habeas corpus. The facts and issues are well known to the parties, so we need not recount them herein. This Court has no general mandamus jurisdiction over the Dallas County District Clerk and no jurisdiction over post-conviction habeas corpus proceedings. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004); Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. arts. 11.05, 11.07 (West 2005 & Supp. 2011); In re Hampton, No. 05-07-00440-CV, 2007 WL 1168446, at *1 (Tex. App.-Dallas Apr. 20, 2007, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.). We dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus.
