TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-08-00117-CV

In re Robert F. Brown III

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM WILLIAMSON COUNTY

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

Robert F. Brown III has petitioned this Court for a writ of mandamus ordering
the 277th District Court of Williamson County to act on various pro se motions Brown filed in cause
number 05-307-K277.  The exhibits attached to the petition reflect, however, that the motions were
filed while Brown's appeal from his conviction in cause number 05-307-K277 was pending in
this Court or in the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.  See Brown v. State, No. 03-06-526-CR
Tex. App.--Austin Aug. 1, 2007), pet. ref'd, No. PD-1284-07 (Tex. Crim. App. Jan. 23, 2008). 
Therefore, the district court was without authority to act on his motions.  See Tex. R. App. P.
25.2(g).
The petition for writ of mandamus is denied.  See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
