TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-13-00148-CV
In re Jose Isaac Reyes
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM HIDALGO COUNTY
M E M O R AN D U M O P I N I O N
Relator Jose Isaac Reyes petitions for a writ of mandamus concerning a habeas corpus
application in a Hidalgo County district court. However, Hidalgo County is not within this
Court’s territorial jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. §§ 22.201(d) (West Supp. 2012) (listing
twenty-four counties in Third Court of Appeals’s district), 22.221(b) (West 2004) (authorizing
appellate courts to issue writs of mandamus within its district).
The petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R.
App. P. 52.8(a).
