IN RE KENNETH HILL, Relator

 

 

 

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

 

 

M E M O R A N D U M  O P I N I O N

On April 6, 2006, relator Kenneth Hill filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court,[1] requesting we order the district clerk of Brazoria County to acknowledge receipt of and docket a petition filed by relator in that court. 

This Court is empowered to issue writs of mandamus to enforce its jurisdiction, or against a judge of district or county courts within its appellate district.  See Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 22.221 (Vernon 2005).  Because there is no indication that the writ is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction and it is not against a district or county judge, we do not have the authority to provide relator with the requested relief.  Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is ordered dismissed.


 

PER CURIAM

 

Petition Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed April 18, 2006.

Panel consists of Justices Hudson, Fowler, and Seymore
