IN RE Carlos ZUNIGA
Original Mandamus Proceeding 1
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Irene Rios, Justice
Delivered and Filed: September 18, 2019
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION
On August 19, 2019, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus by which he seeks to
compel the Board of Pardons and Paroles to determine relator is entitled to parole, “reverse the
lower court’s judgment in whole or in part and [sic] the judgment of the lower court [sic] should
have rendered at parole review.” This court’s mandamus jurisdiction does not extend to the Board
of Pardons and Paroles. See TEX. GOV’T CODE § 22.221(a), (b). Therefore, we dismiss relator’s
petition for want of jurisdiction.
PER CURIAM
