Motion Denied and Order filed December 23, 2014
In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals ____________ NO. 14-85-00876-CR ____________ DIMITRIUS JOHNSON, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 180th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 416,096 ORDER Appellant’s conviction was affirmed by this court in 1987. Appellant has filed a motion to obtain documents and trial records, without payment, to pursue habeas corpus relief.
Generally, an indigent criminal defendant is not entitled to a free record of prior proceedings for use in pursuing post-conviction habeas corpus relief. See Escobar v. State, 880 S.W.2d 782, 783 (Tex. App. -- Houston [1st Dist.] 1993, order). This motion is not the correct vehicle for relief. See In re Williams, 2001 WL 668455, *2 (Tex. App. -- Beaumont 2001, orig. proceeding). We deny the motion.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Jamison, Busby and Brown.
