Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

In Re Roderick Harris, Relator

May 25, 20162016 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 86

Summary

The Court denied relator's motion for leave to file a writ of prohibition seeking to block the trial judge's order that habeas counsel disclose portions of the trial counsel's files to the State, finding that the act was not purely ministerial and that relator lacked a clear right to the relief. Justice Alcala dissented, arguing that the Court should have allowed the writ to be filed.
