NO. 01-08-00314-CV

IN RE G.B., A MINOR CHILD, BY AND THROUGH ARTHUR BURBANO AND CHERYL BURBANO, Relators

Original Proceeding On Petition For Writ Of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

By petition for writ of mandamus, relators, G.B., Arthur Burbano, and Cheryl Burbano seek relief to compel the Hearing Officer to vacate her March 28, 2008 order and to grant relators access to Willow Creek Elementary to conduct an observation.

We have general mandamus jurisdiction over the judge of a district or county court in the Court’s court of appeals district. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221(b) (Veronon 2004). We have no mandamus jurisdiction over a special education hearing officer, except perhaps to preserve our own jurisdiction—a circumstance that is not present in this case. We therefore dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus.                                                                   

Per Curiam

Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Jennings and Bland.
