Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION Relator, Leonard D. Faniel, filed a petition for writ of mandamus, asking us to order the respondent, Chris Daniels, Harris County District Clerk, to forward relator’s 11.07 writ.1 TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07 (West 2015). By statute, we have no authority to issue a writ of mandamus against a district clerk unless required to enforce our jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221
The underlying case is State v. Faniel, cause number 1459000, pending in the 179th District Court of Harris County, Texas, the Honorable Kristin M. Guiney presiding. (West 2004). Because relator does not seek a writ of mandamus to enforce our jurisdiction, we dismiss this petition.
PER CURIAM

Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
