Full Opinion

Court of Appeals Tenth Appellate District of Texas 10-26-00360-CR In re Lester Guyton Original Proceeding JUSTICE SMITH delivered the opinion of the Court. MEMORANDUM OPINION Lester Guyton, proceeding pro se, filed a document in this Court entitled “Writ of Prohibition.” Guyton appears to raise complaints related to the trial court’s plea-in-bar of certain unadjudicated offenses considered in assessing his punishment in trial court cause number 22-04605-CRF-85 on or about February 8, 2024. A writ of prohibition generally issues to prevent the commission of a future act. State ex. rel. Wade v. Mays, 689 S.W.2d 893, 897 (Tex. Crim. App. 1985). The only situation in which this Court may properly use a writ of prohibition is to protect our jurisdiction over a pending proceeding. In re Mix, No. 10-19-00463-CR, 2019 WL 7246445, at *1 (Tex. App.—Waco Dec. 23, 2019, orig. proceeding) (mem. op., not designated for publication). There is no pending appeal in the underlying criminal case. Guyton’s petition for writ of prohibition “does not assert any manner in which our jurisdiction is in jeopardy of being lost due to the events about which he is complaining.” Id. We have no jurisdiction to issue the writ of prohibition. Accordingly, we dismiss Guyton’s petition for writ of prohibition.
