IN RE CLARENCE DEWAYNE JACKSON, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
185th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 981,059
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On November 30, 2011, Relator, Clarence DeWayne Jackson, filed a petition for
writ of mandamus in this Court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann §22.221 (Vernon 2004); see
also Tex. R. App. P. 52.1. Relator requests we compel "a government body to make
information available. . ."
This Court’s mandamus jurisdiction is governed by section 22.221 of the Texas
Government Code. Section 22.221 expressly limits the mandamus jurisdiction of the
courts of appeals to: (1) writs against a district court judge or county court judge in the
court of appeals’ district, and (2) all writs necessary to enforce the court of appeals'
jurisdiction. Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004). Because the petition for
writ of mandamus is not directed toward a district court judge or county court judge in our
district, and is not necessary to enforce our jurisdiction, we have no jurisdiction. See Tex.
Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221(b)(1).
Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is ordered dismissed.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Brown, Boyce and McCally.
