IN RE STEVEN MICHAEL SHERRILL, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On July 15, 2013, the relator, Steven Michael Sherrill, filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus, requesting that we direct the trial court to provide him with, or respond to his request for, a free transcript of his trial proceedings.
The underlying case is State v. Sherrill, No. 1068120, in the 263rd District Court of Harris County, Texas, the Honorable Jim Wallace presiding. We previously affirmed Sherrill's conviction in this cause in Sherill v. State, No. 01-07-00503-CR, 2008 WL 4670606 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2009, pet ref'd) (mem. op., not designated for publication). Because Sherill is entitled to a free copy of his transcript only for his initial appeal and Sherrill has exhausted that appeal, he is not entitled to another free transcript. See Ex parte Trainer, 181 S.W.3d 358 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005); Escobar v. State, 880 S.W.2d 782, 783 (Tex. App — Houston 1st Dist. 1993, no pet.).
We deny the petition for writ of mandamus.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Keyes, Higley, and Bland. Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
