                                                      MEMORANDUM OPINION

 

            Calvin Yarbrough has filed a document with this Court that we deem to be a request for relief through a petition for writ of mandamus.   He has no pending appeal, but asks us to order the Harrison County District Clerk to produce and provide him with a complete certified transcription of the grand jury minutes, presumably from the cause underlying his 2005 conviction for aggravated assault.

            This Court has jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against “a judge of a district or county court in the court of appeals district.”  Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221(b) (Vernon 2004).   In this context, the relief sought by Yarbrough against a district clerk is not within the jurisdictional authority of this Court.

            We deny the petition for writ of mandamus.

                                                                                    Chief Justice
