Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

In Re Juan Lizcano, Relator v. Hon. Andy Chatham, Presiding Judge, Respondent

October 5, 20112011 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1728

Summary

The Court denied the relator's petition for a writ of mandamus seeking to compel discovery of defense‑attorney trial files. The concurring statement explains that the petition is not ripe because the specific files at issue are unknown and that the relator failed to provide the required sealed record and evidence of privilege. Consequently, the Court cannot review the order at this time.
