IN RE ROY RAY BEATY

Original Proceeding

MEMORANDUM OPINION

	Roy Ray Beaty filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court.  See Tex. R. App.
P. 52.  The relator seeks to compel the District Clerk of Montgomery County to transmit a
copy of his application for writ of habeas corpus and related documents to the Court of
Criminal Appeals.  We have authority to issue a writ of mandamus when necessary to enforce
our jurisdiction and against district and county judges in our district.  See Tex. Gov't Code
Ann. 22.221 (Vernon 2004).  Jurisdiction over post-conviction habeas proceedings rests
exclusively with the Court of Criminal Appeals.  Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07,
§ 3 (Vernon 2005); Board of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene v. Court of Appeals for Eighth
Dist., 910 S.W.2d 481, 483 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995).  Mandamus relief in a post-conviction
habeas proceeding must be obtained from the Court of Criminal Appeals.  In re McAfee, 53
S.W.3d 715, 718 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, orig. proceeding).  
	The relator's petition for writ of mandamus fails to establish that relief is necessary
to enforce our jurisdiction.  Accordingly, the petition is denied.
	WRIT DENIED.
