  • DISMISS; and Opinion Filed May 21, 2015.
    S   In The
    Court of Appeals
    Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
    No. 05-15-00633-CV
    IN RE RICKEY WAYNE TOLBERT JR., Relator
    Original Proceeding from the 304th Judicial District Court
    Dallas County, Texas
    Trial Court Cause No. JD-42441-W
    MEMORANDUM OPINION
    Before Justices Lang, Fillmore, and Evans
    Opinion by Justice Fillmore
    Relator filed this petition for writ of mandamus complaining that a juvenile conviction
    has improperly caused collateral consequences in conjunction with his federal prison sentence.
    The relief relator seeks may be granted only by petition for writ of habeas corpus. In re Altschul,
    
    207 S.W.3d 427
    , 430 (Tex. App.—Waco 2006, pet. ref'd) (orig. proceeding) (attempt to obtain
    relief from collateral consequences of juvenile conviction is properly presented in a petition for
    writ of habeas corpus). As an intermediate appellate court, this Court lacks original habeas
    corpus jurisdiction in such cases.     Id.; TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 22.221(d) (West 2004)
    (delineating original habeas corpus jurisdiction of intermediate appellate courts). We dismiss the
    petition.
