DISMISSED and Opinion Filed December 6, 2019

S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-19-01234-CV IN RE: BENNIE JOHN MURREY, Relator On Appeal from the County Court at Law Rockwall County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. CR19-1141 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Bridges, Osborne, and Carlyle Opinion by Justice Osborne In this original proceeding, relator seeks a writ of mandamus directing the regional administrative judge to hold a hearing on relator’s motion to disqualify the trial court judge and to grant a new trial by a newly assigned judge. We lack writ jurisdiction over regional administrative judges because they are not judges of district or county court in this Court’s district and our jurisdiction is not in jeopardy such that we could exercise writ jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(a), (b); see also In re Michael Hooper & Assocs., P.C., No. 05-09-01291-CV, 2009 WL 3647580, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas Nov. 5, 2009, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.) (no writ jurisdiction over regional administrative judge).

Accordingly, we dismiss relator’s petition for writ of mandamus for want of jurisdiction.
