IN RE RALPH O. DOUGLAS, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N
On April 21, 2009, Relator, Ralph O. Douglas, filed a AMOTION TO ORDER THE TERRELL UNIT MAILROOM TO MAKE COPIES OF THE LEGAL MAIL LOG BOOK.@ In light of the relief sought, we construe relator=s motion as a petition for writ of mandamus. See Tex. Gov=t Code Ann '22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.1.
This Court=s mandamus jurisdiction is governed by section 22.221 of the Texas Government Code. Section 22.221 expressly limits the mandamus jurisdiction of the courts of appeals to: (1) writs against a district court judge or county court judge in the court of appeals= district, and (2) all writs necessary to enforce the court of appeals= jurisdiction. Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 22.221 (Vernon 2004). Relator requests we issue an order directed to the AC.T. Terrell=s mailroom.@ Because we have no jurisdiction over the AC.T. Terrell=s mailroom@, relator's petition for writ of mandamus is ordered dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Frost, Seymore, and Guzman.
