In Re Marcus D'Shun Lewis v. the State of Texas ( 2024 )

IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-24-00022-CV
IN RE MARCUS D'SHUN LEWIS
Original Proceeding
From the County Court at Law
Navarro County, Texas
Trial Court No. C22-30681-CV
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On January 25, 2024, Marcus D’Shun Lewis filed a “Petition for Writ of
Mandamus for Preparation of Court Reporter’s Records,” requesting that this Court
order the court reporter in the underlying case to provide him with a copy of the
reporter’s record. A court of appeals has no jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus
against a court reporter except to protect or enforce its jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV’T CODE
ANN. § 22.221. We therefore dismiss Lewis’s “Petition for Writ of Mandamus for
Preparation of Court Reporter’s Records” for want of jurisdiction.
MATT JOHNSON
Justice
