TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-16-00349-CV

In re Robert Lee Martin

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY

M E M O R AN D U M O P I N I O N

Relator Robert Lee Martin filed a petition for writ of mandamus1 raising various complaints against Travis County District Clerk Velva Price. However, as an intermediate appellate court, we may issue writs of mandamus only against a district judge or county judge sitting in our district, or to enforce our jurisdiction, none of which are implicated here. See Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.221(b); In re Simpson, 997 S.W.2d 939 (Tex. App.—Waco 1999, orig. proceeding); In re Strickhausen, 994 S.W.2d 936 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, orig. proceeding).

The petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).

Martin captioned this filing as an appeal but no trial court order or judgment is challenged here, only complaints against the district clerk. Thus, we consider his filing as a mandamus petition.
