IN RE DON HARRIS, Relator

---

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

---

O P I N I O N

Relator, Don Harris, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus complaining that Family Court Associate Judge Phillip Warner of the 245th District Court of Harris County, Texas ⁽¹⁾ abused his discretion when he signed temporary orders on February 11, 2002.

We dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus for want of jurisdiction. We have no mandamus jurisdiction over an associate judge. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221(b) (Vernon Supp. 2002); Welder v. Fritz, 750 S.W.2d 930, 932 (Tex. App.-Corpus Christi 1988, orig. proceeding) .  

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Mirabal, Hedges, and Jennings.

Do not publish. Tex. R. App. P. 47.

The Honorable Annette Galick is the presiding judge of the 245th District Court of Harris County, Texas.
