in Re Gerald Anthony Wright

COURT OF APPEALS
SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS
FORT WORTH
NO. 2-10-150-CV
IN RE GERALD ANTHONY W RIGHT RELATOR
------------
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
------------
MEMORANDUM OPINION 1
------------
The court has considered relator’s petition for writ of mandamus and is of the
opinion that relief should be denied. This court does not have jurisdiction to issue
a writ of mandamus against either of the respondents except to protect our own
jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221(b) (Vernon 2004); In re Dunn, 120
S.W .3d 913, 913 (Tex. App.—Texarkana 2003, orig. proceeding); see also In re
Stickhausen, 994 S.W .2d 936, 936 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, orig.
proceeding). This court’s jurisdiction is not at issue in this case. Accordingly,
relator’s petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
