Opinion
Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-14-00493-CR IN RE Leonard Ray JACKSON Original Mandamus Proceeding 1 PER CURIAM Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice Delivered and Filed: July 23, 2014 PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION On July 15, 2014, relator filed a pro se original proceeding in this court seeking mandamus relief against the District Clerk of Bexar County. However, this court does not have jurisdiction to grant the requested relief. By statute, this court has the authority to issue a writ of mandamus against “a judge of a district or county court in the court of appeals district” and other writs as necessary to enforce our appellate jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(a)-(b) (West 2004). We conclude the writ is not necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. Accordingly, relator’s petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
PER CURIAM DO NOT PUBLISH
This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2002CR5940, styled The State of Texas v. Leonard Ray Jackson, pending in the 175th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, the Honorable Mary D. Roman presiding.
