ONION, Presiding Judge,
dissenting.
This mandamus action seeking to collect $17,010.00 in attorney’s fees is not a “criminal law matter” as contemplated by Article V, § 5 of the State Constitution and Article 4.04, V.A.C.C.P. This Court is without jurisdiction to entertain this application for mandamus. For the reasons stated in my dissenting opinion in Smith v. Flack, 728 S.W.2d 784, 796 (Tex.Cr.App.1987), I dissent to any action except dismissal of the application for writ of mandamus.
