CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:19cv413
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER REGARDING VENUE
Petitioner Sammy Ray Brewster, an inmate confined in the Telford Unit of the Texas
Department of Criminal Justice, Correctional Institutions Division, proceeding pro se, filed this
petition for writ of habeas corpus.
Discussion
Petitioner filed this petition for writ of habeas corpus in the federal judicial district in which
he was convicted. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241(d), a petitioner may bring his petition for writ of
habeas corpus in the federal judicial district in which he was convicted or the district in which he is
incarcerated. As petitioner is incarcerated in this district, this court has jurisdiction over the petition.
The Telford Unit is in Bowie County. While Bowie County is in the Eastern District of
Texas, it is in the Texarkana Division rather than the Beaumont Division. As a result, this case
should be transferred to the Texarkana Division of this court.
ORDER
For the reasons set forth above, it is ORDERED that this petition for writ of habeas corpus
is TRANSFERRED to the Texarkana Division of this court.
SIGNED this 26th day of November, 2019.
