MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-14-00600-CV
IN RE Anthony CISNEROS
Original Mandamus Proceeding 1
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice
Marialyn Barnard, Justice
Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
Delivered and Filed: September 3, 2014
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
On August 25, 2014, relator Anthony Cisneros filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus,
seeking an order directing the district clerk to provide him with copies of certain documents from
the clerk’s record in the underlying parental termination proceeding. 2 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.
