Hilbig, Justice Delivered and Filed: March 31, 2010 PETITION FOR WRIT OF PROCEDENDO DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION On March 10, 2010, relator Ronald Mitchell, Jr. filed a Writ of Procedendo, An ExtraOrdinary Writ Pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedures, Rule 72.1. Relator s complaint relates to the sentence he was given in the underlying trial court proceeding. However, Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 72.1 applies to proceedings in the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, not an intermediate court of appeals. Furthermore, unlike the Court of Criminal Appeals, which has broad constitutional power to issue writs of habeas corpus, mandamus, procedendo, prohibition, certiorari, or other extraordinary writ, this court s statutory general writ power is limited to writ[s] of mandamus and all other writs necessary to enforce the jurisdiction of the Court. Compare TEX . 1 ¦ This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2003-CR-9086, in the 399th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, the Honorable Juanita Vasquez-Gardner presiding. 04-10-00202-CR CONST . art. V, § 5(c) (writ power of Court of Criminal Appeals), with TEX . GOV T CODE ANN . § 22.221(a) (Vernon 2004) (writ power of intermediate court of appeals). Based on the foregoing, we conclude relator has not established the writ he seeks is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. Therefore, we dismiss relator s writ of procedendo for lack of jurisdiction. PER CURIAM Do not publish -2-
