In re Christopher V. Acosta, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, Christopher V. Acosta, has filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus, complaining that the trial court has failed to act on his application for writ of habeas corpus in the manner proscribed by law.[1] See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 § 3(c) (West 2005).
This Court does not have jurisdiction over matters related to applications for writ of habeas corpus under article 11.07. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 §§ 3, 5; In re McAfee, 53 S.W.3d 715, 718 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, orig. proceeding) (“Article 11.07 contains no role for the courts of appeals; the only courts referred to are the convicting court and the Court of Criminal Appeals). Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus for want of jurisdiction, and we dismiss all outstanding motions as moot.
PER CURIAM
