IN RE DAVID JAMES, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
281st District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2008-76278
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On May 3, 2011, Relator, David James, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann §22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.1. Relator requests we compel the District Clerk of Harris County, Texas, Chris Daniel, to provide him with a copy of the clerk’s record in his appeal before this court, Appeal No. 14-10-1055-CV.[1]
This Court’s mandamus jurisdiction is governed by section 22.221 of the Texas Government Code. Section 22.221 expressly limits the mandamus jurisdiction of the courts of appeals to: (1) writs against a district court judge or county court judge in the court of appeals’ district, and (2) all writs necessary to enforce the court of appeals' jurisdiction. Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004). Because the petition for writ of mandamus is directed toward a district clerk and is not necessary to enforce this court’s jurisdiction, we have no jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221(b)(1).
Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is ordered dismissed.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Anderson, Brown, and Christopher.
