NO. 12-22-00247-CR
IN THE COURT OF APPEALS
TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT
TYLER, TEXAS

IN RE: §

TEVARES TIMMONS, § ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

RELATOR §

MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
Tevares Timmons, acting pro se, filed this original proceeding to challenge Respondent’s
failure to comply with a mandate from the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. 1
On September 22, 2021, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals granted habeas relief in
trial court cause number 114-80390-99 and ordered that Relator’s aggravated robbery conviction
is vacated. Ex parte Timmons, No. WR-92,604-02, 2021 WL 4301844, at *1 (Tex. Crim. App.
Sept. 22, 2021) (per curiam) (op., not designated for publication). The Court of Criminal
Appeals further ordered, “The trial court shall issue any necessary orders within ten days from
the date of this Court’s mandate.” Id. (emphasis added). The mandate issued on October 19,
2021. Relator asks that we issue an order to Respondent so the Court of Criminal Appeals’
mandate can be fulfilled. But because the Court of Criminal Appeals vacated Relator’s
conviction, nothing remains for Respondent to do. 2 Accordingly, we deny Relator’s petition for
writ of mandamus.
Opinion delivered September 30, 2022.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.

1
Respondent is the Honorable Austin R. Jackson, Judge of the 114th District Court in Smith County,
Texas. The State of Texas is the Real Party in Interest.
2
We also note that the Texas Department of Criminal Justice’s inmate database lists three of Relator’s
convictions but does not list the vacated aggravated robbery conviction.
