IN RE DAVID JAMES , Relator





Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus




 

MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Relator David James filed a petition for writ of mandamus complaining that respondent court reporters did not file the reporter’s record for an appeal styled: David James v. The State of Texas, cause number 01-04-01071-CR, trial court cause number 21928, 12th District Court of Walker County, Texas. The complete record in cause number 01-04-01071-CR was filed September 19, 2005. We dismiss the petition.

               This Court has mandamus jurisdiction against a district court judge or county court judge in our district, and all writs necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004). We have no authority to issue a writ of mandamus against a court reporter unless such is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. In re Strickhausen, 994 S.W.2d 936, 936 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, orig. proceeding).

               Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed.PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Nuchia, Jennings, and Higley.
