IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-13-00035-CV IN RE HANK SCOTT, ANNE SCOTT, AND SAM SCOTT

Original Proceeding

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relators’ petition for writ of mandamus against Respondent Phil Robertson, Judge of the 220th District Court, is denied.

Relators’ petition for writ of mandamus against Respondent Leoma Larance, the District Clerk of Hamilton County, is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. A court of appeals has no jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a district clerk except to protect its jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(b) (Vernon 2004); In re Bernard, 993 S.W.2d 453, 454 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, orig. proceeding).

We do not have jurisdiction to decide Relators’ petition for writ of mandamus against the District Clerk.

Relators’ petition for writ of mandamus against Respondent Kay Solomon, the Administrator of the 220th District Court, is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. We do not have jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a district court administrator.

See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(b).
