in Re Kerry Lynn Gallagher ( 2022 )

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-22-00470-CV
In re Kerry Lynn Gallagher
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator has filed a petition for writ of injunction seeking to restrain the justice of
the peace, an attorney, and the State of Texas from taking further action in an underlying eviction
proceeding. Our injunctive power is limited to preventing a litigant from taking actions. See
In re Tex. Dep’t of Transp., 583 S.W.3d 794, 798 (Tex. App.—El Paso 2019, orig. proceeding).
Moreover, Relator has failed to demonstrate our jurisdiction is implicated here or that any
pending appeal exists before us. In re Olson, 252 S.W.3d 747, 747–48 (Tex. App.—Houston
[14th Dist.] 2008, orig. proceeding); see also Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.221(a). Accordingly, we
dismiss the petition for writ of injunction for want of jurisdiction.
