IN RE CEDRIC CHRISTOPHER EDISON, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINIONRelator , Cedric Christopher Edison, has filed a petition for a writ of mandamus seeking to compel the named relator, Charles A. Bacarisse, District Clerk of Harris County, to perfect service/issue issuance of citation with petition. // This Court has no jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a district clerk unless necessary to enforce our appellate jurisdiction. In re Washington, 7 S.W.3d 181, 182 (Tex. App. Houston [1st Dist.] 1999) (orig. proceeding). The filing of a notice of appeal invokes this Court s jurisdiction. See id. (citing Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App.1996), Rhem v. State, 820 S.W.2d 946, 947 (Tex. App. Houston [1st Dist.] 1991) (published order)).
We have no jurisdiction over relator s trial-court cause. Accordingly, we dismiss relator s petition for a writ of mandamus for want of jurisdiction.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Chief Justice Radack and Justices Jennings and Alcala.
