Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION Relator, James Flowers, has filed a “Defendant’s Writ of Exigi Facias and Writ of Mandamus for Failure to Comply with T.C.C.P. Article 11.15,” which we consider as a petition for a writ of mandamus. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(a) (West Supp. 2017) (providing court of appeals may issue writ of mandamus and “other writs necessary to enforce the jurisdiction of the court”).

Relator seeks issuance of the writ to compel the trial court, in the underlying proceedings, to issue a writ of habeas corpus for relator’s release on his own recognizance.1 We deny the petition.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Bland, Lloyd, and Caughey.
