MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-08-00652-CR IN RE Delfino GONZALEZ Original Mandamus Proceeding1 PER CURIAM Sitting: Catherine Stone, Justice Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice Rebecca Simmons, Justice Delivered and Filed: October 1, 2008 PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION Delfino Gonzalez seeks a writ of mandamus compelling the Universal City Municipal Court “to set aside and quash or dismiss outstanding warrant order.” This court’s mandamus jurisdiction is governed by section 22.221 of the Texas Government Code, which expressly limits the mandamus jurisdiction of our court to: (1) writs against a district court judge or county court judge in our district; and (2) all writs necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004). Thus, this court has no authority to issue a writ of mandamus against a municipal court judge unless it is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. In re Dockery, No. 04-07-0013-CV, 2007 WL 595057, *1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio February 28, 2007, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.).

Relator does not argue that issuance of the writ is necessary to enforce this court’s jurisdiction.

… Relator asserts this matter arises from proceedings in Bexar County, but he does not identify the trial court or provide a cause number.

Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
