Original Proceeding
________________________________________________________________________
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Nathaniel Jones III has filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus asking
this Court to compel the District Clerk of Jefferson County to file and issue citation
in lawsuits he filed with the Clerk. This Court has jurisdiction to issue a writ of
mandamus against a “judge of a district or county court in the court of appeals
district[.]” Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221(b) (West 2004). We may exercise
mandamus jurisdiction over a district clerk only when the official’s actions
interfere with this Court’s jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221(a).
Relator has not demonstrated any evidence which suggests that a writ of
mandamus should issue to enforce our jurisdiction. See id. Accordingly, the
1
Relator is not entitled to the relief sought. The petition for writ of mandamus is
denied. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
PETITION DENIED.
