In Re Karl Keene v. the State of Texas

Opinion

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas January 22, 2025 No. 04-24-00830-CR IN RE Karl KEENE Original Proceeding 1 0F

ORDER On December 4, 2024, Karl Keene filed a “Petition [for] Writ of Habeas Corpus or Writ of Mandamus,” requesting that we issue a writ of habeas corpus or, in the alternative, that we order the trial court to hold a hearing pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.8(b). After considering the petition, the court concludes that the court lacks jurisdiction to grant Keene’s request for habeas relief and that Keene is not entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we DISMISS Keene’s petition for want of jurisdiction insofar as Keene requests habeas relief and DENY the petition insofar as Keene requests mandamus relief.

It is so ORDERED on January 22, 2025.
