IN RE GREGORY DUNSMORE, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N
On May 6, 2008, relator Gregory Dunsmore filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court. See Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 22.221 (Vernon 2004); Tex. R. App. P. 52.1. In the petition, relators requests that we compel the Harris County District Clerk and the clerk of the County Criminal Court at Law No. 14 to file his petition for writ of habeas corpus.
We do not have jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a district or county clerk unless it is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 22.221; In re Washington, 7 S.W.3d 181, 181 (Tex. App.BHouston [1st Dist.] 1999, orig. proceeding). Relator has not argued, nor does the mandamus record demonstrate, that a writ of mandamus is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction.
Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus for want of jurisdiction.
