The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“In a case where a judge refuses to issue the requested writ of habeas corpus or denies an applicant the requested hearing on the merits of his claim, an applicant’s remedies are limited. Some remedies available to an applicant in that situation are to present the application to another district judge having jurisdiction, or under proper circumstances, to pursue a writ of mandamus.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Ex Parte Okere · Ex Parte Bamburg“The Court of Appeals correctly ruled that the trial court did not issue a writ of habeas corpus. However, it erred in concluding that it had no jurisdiction to hear the appeal from the trial court’s order denying relief. This is not a case where the district court simply refused to hear the application as presented. Here, the court went beyond merely deciding not to issue the writ of habeas corpus. The court, in this instance, undertook to rule on the merits of the application. It is important to recognize that there is a distinction between the issuance of a writ of habeas corpus and the granting of relief on the claims set forth in an application for that writ. The trial court in the instant case did not issue the requested writ of habeas corpus. However, he did not dismiss the application either. Instead, the court undertook to rule on the merits of applicant’s claim and hence, the court of appeals has jurisdiction over applicant’s appeal.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Ex Parte Okere · Ex Parte Carter“the kind of control which one person exercises over another, not to confine him within certain limits, but to subject him to the general authority and power of the person claiming such right.” Id. art. 11.21. An adverse collateral consequence arising from a conviction may constitute “restraint” entitling a person to habeas corpus relief, but it is not”
