MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator Luis Martinez Romero has filed a Demand for Speedy Resolution of Pending Charges by Federal Inmate. He claims that he is in federal custody and wishes to have any sentence on state charges run concurrently with his federal time. Accordingly, he requests speedy resolution of a driving while intoxicated charge and any other state charges.
Relator=s request should have been filed in the trial court. See Ex parte Hawkins, 885 S.W.2d 586, 588 (Tex.App.--El Paso 1994, orig. proceeding)(holding that this Court does not have original habeas jurisdiction in criminal cases); In re Briggs, No. 08-03-00356-CR, 2003 WL 22100477, at *1 (Tex.App.--El Paso Sept. 9, 2003, orig. proceeding)(not designated for publication)(holding that motion for speedy trial in the trial court was an adequate remedy for a petitioner seeking mandamus relief to compel the trial court to try him).
The Demand for Speedy Resolution of Pending Charges by Federal Inmate is denied.
