NUMBER 13-08-00450-CR



COURT OF APPEALS



THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS



CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG




IN RE DONALD WAYNE THIELEMAN


On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.


MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Rodriguez, Garza, and Vela

Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion (1)



Relator, Donald Wayne Thieleman, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in the above cause on July 25, 2008. This petition for writ of mandamus was originally filed in this Court as a criminal, rather than civil, cause. Based on recent analysis from the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, however, we will transfer this matter to our civil cause number 13-08-00631-CV, and will consider it therein. See In re Johnson, No. AP-75,898, slip. op. ¶ 22 (Tex. Crim. App. Oct. 29, 2008) (orig. proceeding), available at http://www.cca.courts.state.tx.us/OPINIONS/HTMLOPINIONINFO.ASP?OPINIONID=17534. Therefore, this criminal cause is hereby DISMISSED.
