IN RE MIKE MENDOZA, JR., Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, Mike Mendoza, Jr., has filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus
seeking to compel the Harris County district attorney to respond to his pending
application for a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus, filed in 2009 under Texas
Code of Criminal Procedure Article 11.07.1 However, we do not have jurisdiction
1
The underlying case is Ex Parte Mike Mendoza, Jr., Cause No. 952290-B, in
the 262nd Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas, the Honorable
Denise Bradley presiding. In 2004, we affirmed appellant’s murder
conviction. See Mendoza, Jr. v. The State of Texas, No. 01-03-00783-CR,
to issue a writ of mandamus directed at the district attorney because the requested
writ neither is against a judge nor is necessary to enforce our appellate jurisdiction.
See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. §§ 22.221(a), (b) (West 2004).
Accordingly, relator’s petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for want
of jurisdiction.
