IN RE CARL DOUGLAS HAYES, Relator





Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus




 

MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Relator, Carl Douglas Hayes, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus, complaining, in essence, that the Honorable Charles Bacarisse, the Harris County District Clerk, has refused to file his petition. This Court has no mandamus jurisdiction over the District Clerk under these circumstances, in which relator has made no allegation or showing that mandamus is necessary to enforce our appellate jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004). Compare In re Washington, 7 S.W.3d 181, 182 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, orig. proceeding).

               Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus.PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Taft, Keyes, and Hanks.
