IN RE LUIS GARCIA FUENTES, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 195th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F-1312634
Trial Court Cause No. F-1312633
Trial Court Cause No. F-1312632
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, Lang-Miers, and Myers
Opinion by Justice Myers
Relator files this petition for writ of mandamus alleging that the trial court has failed to
follow the proper procedures in determining his pre-trial writ of habeas corpus. The facts and
issues are well known to the parties, so we need not recount them herein. This Court has not
been given general supervisory control over district and county courts. Texas Emp. Ins. Ass'n v.
Kirby, 150 S.W.2d 123, 126 (Tex. Civ. App.—Dallas 1941, no writ); see also Guillory v. Davis,
527 S.W.2d 465, 466 (Tex. Civ. App.—Beaumont 1975, no writ). In a criminal case, an
applicant for mandamus relief must establish that he has no adequate remedy at law to redress
the harm he has suffered, and he must show that the act he seeks to compel or prohibit does not
involve a discretionary or judicial decision. Simon v. Levario, 306 S.W.3d 318, 320 (Tex. Crim.
App. 2009). The record before the Court shows relator has not met this standard. See TEX. R.
APP. P. 52.8(a). Accordingly, we DENY the petition for writ of mandamus.
