IN RE SENRICK S. WILKERSON, Relator
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 3
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. F10-01183 and F10-01184
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Francis, Brown, and Whitehill
Opinion by Justice Francis
Before the Court is relator’s September 15, 2017 petition for writ of mandamus in which
he asks the Court to obtain and review the grand jury transcripts, arrest warrants, and arrest
reports related to his 2010 convictions and to order the trial court to hold an evidentiary hearing
to review his convictions. This proceeding is a collateral attack on a final conviction and,
therefore, falls within the scope of a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus under article 11.07 of
the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07 (West
2015). Only the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has jurisdiction in final, post-conviction
felony proceedings. Id; Ater v. Eighth Court of Appeals, 802 S.W.2d 241, 243 (Tex. Crim. App.
1991) (orig. proceeding); In re McAfee, 53 S.W.3d 715, 717 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.]
2001, orig. proceeding).
Accordingly, we dismiss this proceeding for want of jurisdiction.
