IN RE DONALD RAY BROWN, Relator





Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus




 

MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Relator, Donald Ray Brown, filed in this Court a pro se petition for writ of mandamus, asking that we order respondent to forward a notice of appeal to the appellate court. We deny 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 district clerk unless such is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. In re Coronado, 980 S.W.2d 691, 692 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1998, orig. proceeding). It is appellant’s burden to provide this Court with a sufficient record to establish his right to mandamus relief. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding).

               Relator has not provided us with a sufficient record showing that issuance of a writ of mandamus against the Brazoria County District Clerk is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction.

               Therefore, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack, and Justices Higley and Bland.
