IN RE LUIS RIVA DENEGRA, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N
On June 6, 2006, relator Luis Riva Denegra, an inmate at the Ellis Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division, filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus in this court,[1] requesting we direct Charles Bacarisse, the Harris County District Clerk, to provide relator with copies of statements, police and autopsy reports, regarding crimes committed by other individuals.
This court does not have mandamus jurisdiction over a district clerk unless it is shown that issuance of the writ is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 22.221(a), (b) (Vernon 2004); In re Washington, 7 S.W.3d 181, 182 (Tex. App.CHouston [1st Dist.] 1999, orig. proceeding). Because relator does not allege that the district clerk is interfering with our jurisdiction, he has not established he is entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we dismiss relator=s petition for writ of mandamus.
PER CURIAM
Petition Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed July 13, 2006.
Panel consists of Justices Hudson, Fowler and Seymore.
