IN RE Juan Raul ESCAMILLA
Original Mandamus Proceeding1
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Catherine Stone, Justice
Karen Angelini, Justice
Steven C. Hilbig, Justice
Delivered and filed: July 16, 2008
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
On June 12, 2008, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus, asking this court to issue a
subpoena directing the district clerk to provide him with certain records from his criminal trial. This
court does not have jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a district clerk unless such writ
is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. In re Coronado, 980 S.W.2d 691, 692 (Tex. App.—San
Antonio 1998, orig. proceeding); see TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(a), (b) (Vernon 2004).
Relator does not allege or show a writ is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. Accordingly,
relator’s petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
