IN RE BILLY SIMS, Relator
Dismissed and Opinion Filed January 14, 2014
Original Proceeding from the Criminal District Court No. 5
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F-8795144
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, Lang-Miers, and Myers
Opinion by Justice Bridges
Before the Court is relator's petition for writ of mandamus complaining that the trial court has failed to timely rule on his motion for appointment of counsel to assist him in post-conviction habeas corpus matters. 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. 140002F.P05
