No. 04-08-00697-CV
IN RE Roberto GARCIA
Original Mandamus Proceeding1
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice
Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice
Steven C. Hilbig, Justice
Delivered and Filed: October 22, 2008
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
On September 16, 2008, relator Roberto Garcia filed a petition for writ of mandamus
seeking to compel Elizabeth Lipsey, executrix of the estates of Jose Garcia and Hortencia Garcia,
and Demetrio Duarte, attorney for executrix, to provide “disclosure and inspection of his
inheritance.” This court’s mandamus authority is quite limited. In re Coronado, 980 S.W.2d 691,
692 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1998, orig. proceeding); see also TEX . GOV ’T CODE ANN . § 22.221(a),
(b) (Vernon 2004). In order for the executrix or the executrix’s attorney to fall under our mandamus
authority, relator must demonstrate that the issuance of the writ is necessary to enforce our
jurisdiction. See Coronado, 980 S.W.2d at 692. Relator has failed to establish the writ he is
requesting is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus
is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
