NUMBER 13-07-00706-CR
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
IN RE: OSCAR DAVILA
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Yañez, Rodriguez, and Benavides
Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion1
Relator, Oscar Davila, pro se, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in the above
cause complaining of the trial court’s orders allowing the withdrawal of funds from his trust
fund account, and of the trial court’s alleged failure to rule on his motion to compel the trial
court to reconsider those orders.
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 13-09-00152-CV,
