IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-16-00170-CR No. 10-16-00171-CR IN RE HERMAN LEE KINDRED

Original Proceeding

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Petitioner, Herman Lee Kindred, asks this Court to compel the clerk of Bell County to forward Kindred’s petitions or supplemental petitions for writs of habeas corpus to this Court. Even if the action was necessary to otherwise protect our jurisdiction to consider the matter, this Court of Appeals has no jurisdiction over a matter pending in Bell County absent extraordinary circumstances not applicable here. See TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 22.201(k) (West 2004).

Accordingly, Kindred’s petitions for writ of mandamus are dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
