in Re Albert Ray Sanchez

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-17-00423-CR IN RE Albert Ray SANCHEZ Original Mandamus Proceeding 1

PER CURIAM Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice

Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice Irene Rios, Justice

Delivered and Filed: July 19, 2017 PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION

On July 3, 2017, Relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus, complaining about his underlying felony conviction. According to Relator’s petition, the conviction in question was rendered on February 5, 2015, although Relator did not include a copy of this judgment with his mandamus record. This conviction was not appealed.

Only the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has jurisdiction over matters related to final post-conviction felony proceedings: this court does not have jurisdiction to grant post-conviction relief from an otherwise final felony conviction. Board of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene v. Court of Appeals for Eighth Dist., 910 S.W.2d 481, 483 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995); In re Stone, 26 S.W.3d 568, 569 (Tex. App.—Waco 2000, orig. proceeding); see also TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07 (West 2015). Because the relief sought in relator’s petition relates to post- conviction relief from an otherwise final felony conviction, we are without jurisdiction to consider his petition for writ of mandamus.

Accordingly, relator’s petition is DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION.
