MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-17-00423-CR
IN RE Albert Ray SANCHEZ
Original Mandamus Proceeding 1
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice
Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice
Irene Rios, Justice
Delivered and Filed: July 19, 2017
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
On July 3, 2017, Relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus, complaining about his
underlying felony conviction. According to Relator’s petition, the conviction in question was
rendered on February 5, 2015, although Relator did not include a copy of this judgment with his
mandamus record. This conviction was not appealed.
Only the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has jurisdiction over matters related to final
post-conviction felony proceedings: this court does not have jurisdiction to grant post-conviction
relief from an otherwise final felony conviction. Board of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene v.
Court of Appeals for Eighth Dist., 910 S.W.2d 481, 483 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995); In re Stone, 26
S.W.3d 568, 569 (Tex. App.—Waco 2000, orig. proceeding); see also TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC.

This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2079, styled The State of Texas v. Albert Ray Sanchez, pending in the 112th
Judicial District Court, Sutton County, Texas, the Honorable M. Brock Jones, Jr. presiding.
04-17-00423-CR
ANN. art. 11.07 (West 2015). Because the relief sought in relator’s petition relates to post-
conviction relief from an otherwise final felony conviction, we are without jurisdiction to consider
his petition for writ of mandamus.
Accordingly, relator’s petition is DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION.
