    MEMORANDUM OPINION
    No. 04-13-00370-CV
    IN RE Rowland J. MARTIN, Individually and as
    Administrator of the Estate of Johnnie Mae King
    Original Mandamus Proceeding 1
    PER CURIAM
    Sitting:          Catherine Stone, Chief Justice
    Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
    Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
    Delivered and Filed: June 26, 2013
    PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
    On June 12, 2013, Relator Rowland J. Martin filed a petition for writ of mandamus, seeking
    relief with respect to certain decisions of The Law Firm of Linebarger, Goggan, Blair & Sampson.
    This court does not have jurisdiction to grant the requested relief. By statute, this court has the
    authority to 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). We conclude the writ is not necessary to enforce our
    appellate jurisdiction in this instance. Accordingly, relator’s petition for writ of mandamus is
    dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
    PER CURIAM
    1
    This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2001PC1263, styled In the Matter of the Estate of Johnnie Mae King,
    Deceased, pending in Probate Court No. 1, Bexar County, Texas, the Honorable Polly Jackson Spencer, presiding.
