TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-19-00886-CV In re Jorge Oracio Benavides ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM WILLIAMSON COUNTY MEMORANDUM OPINION In 2009, Jorge Oracio Benavides was convicted of the offenses of organized criminal activity and aggravated kidnapping, and the trial court entered an affirmative deadlyweapon finding for each conviction. See Tex. Penal Code §§ 20.04, 71.02. Benavides has now filed a petition for writ of mandamus challenging the propriety of the deadly-weapon findings. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.1. In a prior petition, Benavides presented similar challenges to the deadly-weapon findings, and this Court denied the petition because Benavides failed to show that he had “a clear right to the relief sought.” See In re Benavides, No. 03-18-00382-CV, 2018 WL 3118085, at *2 (Tex. App.—Austin June 26, 2018, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.). For the same reasons that we previously expressed, we deny Benavides’s current petition for writ of mandamus. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a). __________________________________________ Thomas J. Baker, Justice Before Justices Goodwin, Baker, and Kelly Filed: December 18, 2019
