TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                      NO. 03-13-00026-CV

                                        In re Kriss Camp

                  ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TOM GREEN COUNTY

                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Relator Kriss Camp, an inmate, has filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus,

complaining of the district court’s alleged refusal to transmit his pending application for writ of

habeas corpus to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.1 See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07

(West Supp. 2012). However, this Court is without jurisdiction to grant Camp relief here. See id.;

Ater v. Eighth Court of Appeals, 802 S.W.2d 241, 243 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991); In re McAfee,

53 S.W.3d 715, 717-18 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, we

dismiss Camp’s petition for want of jurisdiction.

                                             __________________________________________

                                             Bob Pemberton, Justice
