IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-16-00170-CR
No. 10-16-00171-CR
IN RE HERMAN LEE KINDRED
Original Proceeding
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Petitioner, Herman Lee Kindred, asks this Court to compel the clerk of Bell County
to forward Kindred’s petitions or supplemental petitions for writs of habeas corpus to
this Court. Even if the action was necessary to otherwise protect our jurisdiction to
consider the matter, this Court of Appeals has no jurisdiction over a matter pending in
Bell County absent extraordinary circumstances not applicable here. See TEX. GOV'T CODE
ANN. § 22.201(k) (West 2004).
Accordingly, Kindred’s petitions for writ of mandamus are dismissed for want of
jurisdiction.
