IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-12-00096-CV
IN RE SHANNON LEE SIMON
Original Proceeding
MEMORANDUM OPINION
In this original proceeding Relator Shannon Lee Simon seeks mandamus relief
against the Respondent Warden Herman Weston, Jr. Simon states that the warden
abused his position and promoted abuse of officers’ positions by failing to comply with
TDCJ rules, statutory law, and Constitutional provisions. A court of appeals has no
jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a warden except to protect or enforce
its jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004). We dismiss Simon’s
writ of mandamus for want of jurisdiction.
