No. 04-08-00569-CV
In Re Juan Roberto RODRIGUEZ
Original Mandamus Proceeding1
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Alma L. López, Chief Justice
Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
Rebecca Simmons, Justice
Delivered and Filed: August 27, 2008
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
On August 4, 2008, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus asking this court to order
the Bexar County District Clerk to file his civil action, which he refers to in his mandamus petition
as “Plaintiff’s Notice to Sue for Breach of Contract and Breach of Duty.” This court does not have
jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a district clerk unless such writ is necessary to
enforce this court’s jurisdiction. In re Coronado, 980 S.W.2d 691, 692 (Tex. App.—San Antonio
1998, orig. proceeding); see TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(a), (b) (Vernon 2004). Relator has
not asserted that the writ he is requesting is necessary to enforce this court’s jurisdiction, nor has he
provided a record that would support such an argument. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837

This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2008-CI-12331, filed in the 57th Judicial District Court, Bexar County,
Texas.

(Tex. 1992) (holding relator has burden of providing a sufficient record to establish right to
mandamus relief). For these reasons, the petition is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
