No. 04-05-00386-CV


EX PARTE Frank Jermaine WILLIAMS


Original Habeas Corpus Proceeding


PER CURIAM

 

Sitting:            Catherine Stone, Justice

Karen Angelini, Justice

Rebecca Simmons, Justice

 

Delivered and Filed:   June 22, 2005


PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS DENIED

            On June 10, 2005, Frank Jermaine Williams filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus, complaining that his constitutional right to a speedy trial has been violated and, as such, he is entitled to dismissal of all charges against him. It is well-settled that a defendant may not use pretrial habeas corpus to obtain the dismissal of criminal charges on speedy trial grounds. Ex parte Weise, 55 S.W.3d 617, 620 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001); Ex parte Delbert, 582 S.W.2d 145, 146 (Tex. Crim. App. 1979). We, therefore, deny Williams’s petition for writ of habeas corpus.
