Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Prohibition

In re Miller, 433 S.W.3d 82, 84 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2014, orig. proceeding); see TEX. GOV’T CODE § 22.221(a); Holloway v. Fifth Court of Appeals, 767 S.W.2d 680, 683 (Tex. 1989) (orig. proceeding).
Here, Relator has not established that issuance of the writ of prohibition is necessary to protect the subject matter of a pending proceeding in this Court or to prohibit interference with enforcement of an order or judgment of this Court.
Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction to issue a writ of prohibition. See In re Restrepo, No. 08-14-00270-CV, 2014 WL 5035473, at *1 (Tex. App.—El Paso Oct. 8, 2014, orig. proceeding.)

We dismiss Relator’s petition for lack of jurisdiction. We dismiss any pending motions as moot.
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Rivas-Molloy, Guiney, and Morgan.
