in Re Michael Wayne Osborne
Opinion
Michael Wayne Osborne seeks mandamus relief against the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Parole Division. Osborne alleges he is improperly being held in county jail on a "blue warrant" although he is "no longer in a pre-revocation status."
We lack mandamus jurisdiction over the Department of Criminal Justice and the relator has not shown that the writ must issue to enforce our jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004). Therefore, the relator has not shown that he is entitled to mandamus relief from this Court. See generally Bd. of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene v. Court of Appeals for Eighth Dist., 910 S.W.2d 481, 483 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995).
The petition for writ of mandamus, filed June 15, 2007, is DENIED.
