MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, Lang-Miers, and Myers
Opinion by Justice Bridges
Before the Court is relator’s petition for writ of mandamus complaining that the trial
court has failed to timely rule on his motion for appointment of counsel to assist him in post-
conviction habeas corpus matters. The facts and issues are well known to the parties, so we need
not recount them herein. This Court does not have jurisdiction over relator’s petition. See TEX.
