TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-20-00579-CV
In re Marcos DeLeon
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM LIVE OAK COUNTY
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator Marcos DeLeon has filed a petition for writ of mandamus asking this
Court to order the 156th District Court to rule on his motion for production of evidence.
However, we lack jurisdiction to consider DeLeon’s request. By statute, this Court has the
authority to issue a writ of mandamus against “a judge of a district, statutory county, statutory
probate county, or county court in the court of appeals district.” See Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.221(b)
(emphasis added). This Court does not have mandamus jurisdiction over any court officials of
the 156th District Court, which lies outside out appellate district. See id. § 22.201(d) (listing
counties that compose Third Court of Appeals District).
Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for lack of jurisdiction.
