                         IN RE DONALD E. COLLINS

                               Original Proceeding

                      MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Donald Earl Collins filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court seeking

jail time credit. Collins was convicted in two separate cause numbers for driving while

intoxicated. He was placed on community supervision for one of the offenses (No.

F42536), and received a prison sentence in the other offense (No. F37032). Collins’

community supervision was revoked in No. F42536, and he appealed.               Collins

complained on appeal that he should receive jail time credit for his sentence of

community supervision for the time he spent incarcerated in offense No. F37032. The

Amarillo Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court’s order and denied Collins’ request
for jail time credit. Collins v. State, 318 S.W.3d 471 (Tex. App.─Amarillo 2010, pet.

den’d).

        Collins filed a motion for jail time credit on February 29, 2012 in the trial court for

the same two cause numbers. The trial court denied the motion citing the opinion of the

Amarillo court addressing the same issue. Collins seeks a mandamus in this Court for

jail time credit. The trial court did not err in denying the motion.

        Relator’s petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
