How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • explaining that post- conviction remedies are unavailable where the trial court is performing a judicial rather than a ministerial function
  • mandamus relief is available only if the right to additional pre-trial jail time credit is absolutely indisputable
  • “If a claim of pre-trial jail-time credit involves a question of the proper construction of the statute, as here, trial counsel would do well to try to preserve the issue for appellate resolution.”
  • order denying leave to file an application for writ of mandamus with a detailed explanation that it would not be appropriate to grant mandamus relief because the trial court's action involved a judicial decision, not a ministerial function
  • “It does not seem to be disputed that the murder and evidence tampering arose from the same core facts. Whether that should suffice to render them the same ‘case’ for purposes of Article 42.03, Section 2(a)(1
