in Re Tyrone Johnson

11th Court of Appeals

Eastland, Texas

Memorandum Opinion

 

In re Tyrone Johnson

            No. 11-04-00088-CV – Original Proceeding

 

            Tyrone Johnson has filed in this court a pro se “application of freedom.” Johnson contends that the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Corrections (TDCJ-ID) is holding him illegally. Johnson states that Harris County submitted forged signatures, maliciously prosecuted him, and denied him valid due process in 2002. He also challenges TDCJ-ID’s executive directive and policy administration concerning the admission of offenders into the prison system. Johnson asks this court to rule on his false imprisonment claim, to dismiss his criminal charges, to forward all attorney’s fees, and to compensate him.

            Johnson has not perfected a direct appeal to this court. TEX.R.APP.P. 25.1, 25.2, 26.1, and 26.2. Further, Johnson has not invoked the original jurisdiction of this court. This court is not authorized to grant post-felony conviction writs of habeas corpus. TEX. CODE CRIM. PRO. ANN. art. 11.07 (Vernon Supp. 2004). This court lacks authority to issue a writ of mandamus or any other writ in this situation. TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004).

            Johnson’s application is denied for want of jurisdiction.
