in Re Gerald Anthony Wright

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-10-00314-CV
In re Gerald Anthony Wright
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Gerald Anthony Wright has petitioned the Court for a writ of mandamus directing the
board of pardons and paroles to release him to mandatory supervision. The Court is authorized to
issue all writs of mandamus against a judge of a district or county court in its district, but the Court’s
mandamus authority is otherwise limited to the enforcement of its jurisdiction. Tex. Gov’t Code
Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004). Wright’s claim against the parole board does not implicate the Court’s
jurisdiction. The petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
