in Re Santiago Ruiz ( 2002 )

                                                             11th Court of Appeals

                                                                  Eastland, Texas

                                                                        Opinion

In re Santiago Ruiz

No. 11-02-00009-CR B Original Proceeding

Relator has filed in this court a pro se motion to issue writ of mandamus, a pro se writ of mandamus, a pro se motion to obtain transcripts and designated exhibits, and a pro se motion requesting a copy of his appellate record and an extension of time in which to file his brief. The motions are overruled, and the petition for writ of mandamus is denied.  Further, relator=s requests for relief pursuant to TEX. CODE CRIM. PRO. ANN. art. 11.07 (Vernon Supp. 2002) are denied.

Relator=s complaints arise out of his 1993 conviction for burglary of a habitation in the 49th District Court of Parker County.  This court does not have jurisdiction over appeals from Parker County. TEX. GOV=T CODE ANN. ' 22.201(c) & (l) (Vernon 1988).  We are not able to entertain a request to mandamus the judge of the district court in Parker County.  TEX. GOV=T CODE ANN. ' 22.221 (Vernon Supp. 2002).  Article 11.07 provides that post-felony conviction writs of habeas corpus must be returnable to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals; therefore, courts of appeals lack jurisdiction to entertain such writs.

Relator=s motions are overruled.   Relator=s requests for writs of mandamus and habeas corpus following a felony conviction are denied.
