                     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.

                                 PER CURIAM
