IN RE Erica D. HAYWOOD
Original Mandamus Proceeding1
ORDER
Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice
Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
On April 28, 2014, relator Erica Haywood filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus.
This court does not have jurisdiction to grant the requested relief. By statute, this court may only
issue a writ of mandamus against “a judge of a district or county court in the court of appeals
district” and other writs as necessary to enforce our appellate jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV’T CODE
ANN. § 22.221(a)-(b) (West 2004). Relator’s petition for writ of mandamus is DISMISSED FOR
LACK OF JURISDICTION. The court’s opinion will issue at a later date.
It is so ORDERED on May 2nd, 2014
