In re McGarity
Citations: 107 S.W.3d 692; 2003 Tex. App. LEXIS 2983; 2003 WL 1825385Docket: No. 04-03-00231-CV
Court: Court of Appeals of Texas; April 9, 2003; Texas; State Appellate Court
Jody McGarity, an inmate, filed a pro se petition for a writ of mandamus to compel Judge Raymond Angelini of the 187th District Court to schedule a hearing and rule on his writ of habeas corpus. The court concluded that McGarity failed to demonstrate sufficient grounds to override the trial court's authority to manage its own docket. Consequently, his petition was denied. The court clarified that this decision does not prevent McGarity from seeking relief in the future, nor does it assess the reasonableness of the trial court's actions. The ruling is solely based on the inadequacy of the current record to justify issuing a mandamus.
