IN RE JAMES FLOWERS, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, James Flowers, has filed a “Defendant’s Writ of Exigi Facias and
Writ of Mandamus for Failure to Comply with T.C.C.P. Article 11.15,” which we
consider as a petition for a writ of mandamus. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN.
§ 22.221(a) (West Supp. 2017) (providing court of appeals may issue writ of
mandamus and “other writs necessary to enforce the jurisdiction of the court”).
Relator seeks issuance of the writ to compel the trial court, in the underlying
proceedings, to issue a writ of habeas corpus for relator’s release on his own
recognizance.1
We deny the petition.
