IN RE JOHNNY LAVELL BOWIE

Original Proceeding

MEMORANDUM OPINION (1)
	Relator seeks a writ of mandamus to compel the Texas Department of Criminal
Justice to credit his sentence with 463 days of time credit.  The Texas Department of
Criminal Justice is not a person against whom we may issue a writ of mandamus other than
to protect our jurisdiction, and Relator has not shown that the writ is necessary to enforce
our jurisdiction.  See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221 (Vernon Supp. 2003).
	The petition for writ of mandamus, filed September 29, 2003, is DENIED.									PER CURIAM
Opinion Delivered October 2, 2003
Before McKeithen, C.J., Burgess and Gaultney, JJ.
