COURT OF APPEALS
EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
EL PASO, TEXAS
§ No. 08-11-00379-CR
IN RE: SHANNON MARK DOUTHIT,
§ ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
RELATOR. ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF
§ MANDAMUS
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator Shannon Douthit, pro se, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus requesting that
this Court compel the presiding judge of the 394th Judicial District Court of Presidio County
Texas, to consider and grant his application for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to Texas Code of
Criminal Procedure Article 11.07.
Relief by writ of mandamus is appropriate in instances where the relator demonstrates
there is no adequate remedy at law available to correct the alleged harm, and that the action
sought is not discretionary. See Simon v. Levario, 306 S.W.3d 318, 320 (Tex.Crim.App.
2009)(orig. proceeding). Based on the record before us, Relator has not demonstrated he is
entitled to mandamus relief. See TEX.R.APP.P. 52.3. Accordingly, the petition is DENIED.
