*(Because Crawford filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss his appeal, I fully join this opinion. I further note that we may soon decide whether a petition for writ of mandamus is an appropriate vehicle to challenge the validity of an order issued without notice or hearing that results in money being withdrawn from an inmate s trust account by the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Corrections.)

[1] The Clerk also sent a duplicate copy to the prosecuting attorney.
