IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-14-00365-CR
IN RE PHOUTHASACK PHETVONGKHAM
Original Proceeding
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator seeks mandamus relief against the Honorable Kristin Guiney, Judge of
the 179th District Court of Harris County. The Tenth Court of Appeals does not have
territorial jurisdiction of an original proceeding arising out of Harris County, which is
within the First and Fourteenth Judicial Districts, nor does it have jurisdiction over a
Harris County district judge. See TEX. GOV’T. CODE ANN. § 22.201(b, k, o) (West Supp.
2014); § 22.221(b)(1) (West 2004). Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is
dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
