Opinion

IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS No. 10-24-00022-CV IN RE MARCUS D'SHUN LEWIS

Original Proceeding

From the County Court at Law Navarro County, Texas Trial Court No. C22-30681-CV

MEMORANDUM OPINION On January 25, 2024, Marcus D’Shun Lewis filed a “Petition for Writ of Mandamus for Preparation of Court Reporter’s Records,” requesting that this Court order the court reporter in the underlying case to provide him with a copy of the reporter’s record. A court of appeals has no jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a court reporter except to protect or enforce its jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221. We therefore dismiss Lewis’s “Petition for Writ of Mandamus for Preparation of Court Reporter’s Records” for want of jurisdiction.

MATT JOHNSON Justice Before Chief Justice Gray, Justice Johnson, and Justice Smith Petition dismissed Opinion delivered and filed February 8, 2024 [OT06]
