in Re Domingo Gonzales

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-13-00241-CR IN RE Domingo GONZALES Original Mandamus Proceeding 1 PER CURIAM Sitting: Marialyn Barnard, Justice Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice Delivered and Filed: April 24, 2013 PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION On April 17, 2013, Relator Domingo Gonzales filed a petition for writ of mandamus directed against the Bexar County District Clerk. However, by statute, this court only has the authority to issue a writ of mandamus against a “judge of a district or county court in the court of appeals district” and other writs as necessary to enforce our appellate jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(a)-(b) (Vernon 2004); In re Coronado, 980 S.W.2d 691, 692 (Tex. App.—1998, orig. proceeding). We conclude Gonzales has failed to establish the relief requested is necessary to enforce our appellate jurisdiction. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION. PER CURIAM DO NOT PUBLISH 1 There is no pending trial court proceeding.
