IN RE: Jimmy Jay Jensen

NO. 03-16-00520-CV

Decided: October 06, 2016

Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Goodwin and Bourland

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator Jimmy Jay Jensen, an inmate in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, has filed a pro se petition asking this Court to order the trial court to dismiss the judgments from his November 2006 conviction for multiple counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and to grant him a new trial “in term time.” Compare Tex. Gov't Code § 24.454(b) (establishing that terms of 277th District Court begin on the first Mondays in January and July) with id. § 24.012(b) (establishing that district court terms are continuous and “[e]ach term begins on a day fixed by law and continues until the day fixed by law for the beginning of the next succeeding term). The petition for writ of mandamus is denied. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).

Cindy Olson Bourland, Justice
