MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, Quincy Butler, complains of the trial court’s denial of his motion to
reduce his bail bond. 1 Butler identifies the trial court as the 272nd District Court in
Brazos County, Texas. Courts in Brazos County are not within this Court’s

but asserts that the proceeding is pending in the 272nd District Court of Brazos

appellate jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(a)–(b) (Vernon 2004).
The relief Butler seeks is not necessary to enforce our appellate jurisdiction.
Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus for lack of
jurisdiction.
