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.
