TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-14-00619-CV
In re Anthony Robert Trejo
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, Anthony Robert Trejo, an inmate in the Texas Department of Criminal
Justice, filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus in this Court. See Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.221;
see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.1. In his petition, Trejo appears to ask us to issue a writ of mandamus
directed to the “State of Texas,” the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, and “Federal Agents.”
By statute, this Court has the authority to issue a writ of mandamus against “a judge
of a district or county court in the court of appeals district” and other writs as necessary to enforce
our appellate jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.221. None of the parties that Trejo has named
is a party against whom we may issue a writ of mandamus. Nor has Trejo demonstrated that the
exercise of our writ power is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. We have no jurisdiction to grant
Trejo any relief.
Accordingly, the petition is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
