Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

O P I N I O N

Relator has filed a petition for writ of mandamus requesting that we order the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Institutional Division and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles to credit him with additional time on his sentence in cause number 29,471 and review his parole eligibility. This Court has no mandamus jurisdiction over the Texas Department of Criminal Justice or the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221 (Vernon Supp. 2002).

Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed.PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Mirabal, Taft, and Alcala.
