IN THE

TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-00-255-CV

     IN RE RICHARD OWEN TAYLOR,

                                                                                              Relator

Original Proceeding

O P I N I O N

       Richard Taylor filed a petition seeking mandamus relief against the district clerk of McLennan County. The Government Code does not confer mandamus jurisdiction over district clerks upon the courts of appeals. Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221(b) (Vernon Supp. 2000); see HCA Health Servs. Of Tex., Inc. v. Salinas, 838 S.W.2d 246, 248 (Tex. 1992). Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for want of jurisdiction.

                                                                       REX D. DAVIS

                                                                       Justice

Before Chief Justice Davis,

          Justice Vance, and

          Justice Gray

Dismissed
