Original Mandamus Proceeding //

 

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Alma L. L pez, Chief Justice

Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice

Rebecca Simmons, Justice

Delivered and Filed: December 7, 2005

 

PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED IN PART, DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION IN PART

 

David Sauceda seeks the issuance of a writ of mandamus to compel the trial court to rule on his application for a writ of habeas corpus and to compel Bexar County Criminal District Attorney Susan D. Reed to dismiss the underlying cause. Attached to Sauceda s mandamus petition is a copy of a document entitled, Application for a Writ of Habeas Corpus Seeking Relief From Final Felony Conviction Under Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 11.07. Sauceda represents that he filed this application on November 3, 2003; however, it does not bear a file-stamp or otherwise indicate it has been filed. No sworn record was filed with Sauceda s petition for a writ of mandamus. Sauceda does not present the record necessary to show he is entitled to the relief sought. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.7(a)(1).

Additionally, as to the district attorney, we have no jurisdiction to grant the relief requested. See Tex. Gov t Code Ann. 22.221 (Vernon 2004). Accordingly, Sauceda s mandamus petition is denied as to the trial court and dismissed for want of jurisdiction as to the district attorney.
