MEMORANDUM OPINION
 
Before Justices Whittington, FitzGerald, and Lang-Miers
Opinion by Justice Whittington
 
        Stating that the trial court has not acted upon his “motion for request of records and information” from his 1986 criminal case, relator seeks mandamus relief to order the trial court to grant his motion. Relator states that he needs the records to prepare his challenge to his conviction. The time for a direct appeal has expired in this twenty year old case. Only the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has jurisdiction to grant post-conviction relief. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 (Vernon 2005); Ater v. Eighth Court of Appeals, 802 S.W. 23d 241,243 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991)(orig. proceeding); In re McFee, 53 S.W.3d 715, 717 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, no pet.). Accordingly, we DISMISS relator's petition for writ of mandamus. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
