In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas ———————————— NOS. 01-13-00177-CR and 01-13-00178-CR ——————————— IN RE BRANDON J. BUTLER, Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION Relator Brandon J. Butler, a prison inmate proceeding pro se, filed a petition for writ of mandamus requesting that this Court order the Houston Police Department’s Chief of Police and one of its administration managers to furnish copies of certain reports. This Court has jurisdiction to issue writs of mandamus against a judge of a district court or county court and to issue writs of mandamus necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221 (West 2004). This Court has no jurisdiction over the parties about whom the relator complains, and issuing a writ of mandamus against them is not necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction in this matter. See id.; cf. In re Lagaite, No. 01-04-01313-CR, 2005 WL 327343, at *1 (Tex. App.— Houston [1st Dist.] Feb. 10, 2005, orig. proceeding) (mem. op., not designated for publication) (denying, for lack of jurisdiction, mandamus petition against municipal police department that had refused to provide copy of criminal complaint). The petition for writ of mandamus is denied.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Keyes, Sharp, and Huddle.
