NUMBER 13-08-00478-CR

COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

IN RE BILLY J. BASHAM

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Rodriguez, Garza, and Vela

Memorandum Opinion (1)Per Curiam 

 Relator, Billy J. Basham, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in the above cause
on August 11, 2008.  This petition for writ of mandamus was originally filed in this Court as
a criminal, rather than civil, cause.  Based on recent analysis from the Texas Court of
Criminal Appeals, however, we will transfer this matter to our civil cause number 13-08-00629-CV, and will consider it therein.  See In re Johnson, No. AP-75,898, slip. op. ¶ 22
(Tex. Crim. App. Oct. 29, 2008) (orig. proceeding), available at
http://www.cca.courts.state.tx.us/OPINIONS/HTMLOPINIONINFO.ASP?OPINIONID=17534.  Therefore, this criminal cause is hereby DISMISSED.  

								PER CURIAM

Memorandum Opinion delivered and 
filed this 13th day of November, 2008.
