In The

Eleventh Court of Appeals __________ No. 11-13-00227-CR __________ IN RE JOHN WILLIAM SPURLOCK

Original Mandamus Proceeding

MEMORANDUM OPINION Relator, John William Spurlock, has filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus complaining of Hon. Kenneth Keeling, Judge of the 278th District Court of Leon County, with respect to Relator’s criminal proceedings.

TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(b)(1) (West 2004) provides that each court of appeals for a court of appeals district may issue all writs of mandamus, agreeable to the principles of law regulating those writs, “against a judge of a district or county court in the court of appeals district.” Leon County is not in the Eleventh Court of Appeals District. TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.201(l) (West Supp. 2012). Instead, Leon County is in the Tenth Court of Appeals District. See id. § 22.201(k). Therefore, we do not have jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against either a judge or district court of Leon County. 1 Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
