Delivered and Filed: September 24, 2008
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
On August 29, 2008, relator Juan Gamez filed a petition for writ of mandamus seeking to
compel the District Clerk of Bexar County to file his motion for forcible entry and detainer. This
court has no mandamus jurisdiction over a district clerk unless the issuance of the writ is necessary
to enforce our jurisdiction. See TEX . GOV ’T CODE ANN . § 22.221(a)-(b) (Vernon 2004); In re
Coronado, 980 S.W.2d 691, 692 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1998, orig. proceeding). Relator has
failed to establish the writ he is requesting is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction.
In addition, relator has the burden to provide a record establishing his right to mandamus
relief. See TEX . R. APP . P. 52.7(a)(1) (relator must file with the mandamus petition a copy of every

document that is material to his claim for relief); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex.
1992). Relator failed to provide this court with the motion he asserts he filed with the trial court or
any documents material to his request for mandamus relief.
Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
