DIMITRIUS JOHNSON, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 180th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 416,096
ORDER
Appellant’s conviction was affirmed by this court in 1987. Appellant has
filed a motion to obtain documents and trial records, without payment, to pursue
habeas corpus relief.
Generally, an indigent criminal defendant is not entitled to a free record of
prior proceedings for use in pursuing post-conviction habeas corpus relief. See
Escobar v. State, 880 S.W.2d 782, 783(Tex. App. -- Houston [1st Dist.] 1993, order). This motion is not the correct vehicle for relief. See In re Williams,2001 WL 668455
, *2 (Tex. App. -- Beaumont 2001, orig. proceeding). We deny the
motion.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Jamison, Busby and Brown.
