MEMORANDUM OPINION REGARDING VENUE
Petitioner Bernard Kidd, an inmate confined in the Gist Unit
of
the
Texas
Department
of
Criminal
Justice,
Correctional
Institutions Division, proceeding pro se, filed this petition for
writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.
Discussion
Petitioner states he is challenging a 2012 conviction for
aggravated robbery in the 145th District Court of Nacogdoches
County, Texas.
Petitioner filed this petition for writ of habeas corpus in
the 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 district in which he was convicted or the district in
which he is incarcerated. Accordingly, this court has jurisdiction
over the petition.
However,
while
Nacogdoches
County
is
located
within
the
Eastern District of Texas, it is in the Lufkin Division, rather
than the Beaumont Division.
As a result, this case should be
transferred to the Lufkin Division of this court. A Transfer Order
shall be entered in accordance with this Memorandum Opinion.
