Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-15-01250-CV

IN RE JOE TRAMPAS BENAVIDES, Relator Original Proceeding from the 363rd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. F-9921709-MW MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Bridges, Lang-Miers, and Stoddart

Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers Relator filed this petition for writ of mandamus requesting that the Court order the district attorney of Dallas County, Texas to enforce his plea agreement. The district attorney is not a trial judge within our district; thus absent circumstances not present in this case, we have no jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus directed at her. Garner v. Gately , 909 S.W.2d 61, 62 (Tex. App.—Waco 1995, orig. proceeding); T EX . G OV ’ T C ODE A NN . § 22.221(b) (West 2004). Moreover, because relator’s complaint is a collateral attack on a final felony conviction, the relief relator seeks—immediate discharge from confinement—may be sought only by petition for writ of habeas corpus. See In re Benavides , No. 05-15-00341-CV, 2015 WL 1346144, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas Mar. 25, 2015, orig. proceeding). We lack jurisdiction to issue such a writ. Id.

We dismiss the petition for want of jurisdiction.
