Petition for Writ of Mandamus Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed May 27, 2010. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals ____________ NO. 14-10-00431-CV ____________ IN RE BILFORD DWIGHT JUNIOUS, Relator ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS MEMORANDUM OPINION On May 13, 2010, Relator, Bilford Dwight Junious, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov t Code Ann §22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.1. Relator requests this court issue a writ of mandamus ordering the Harris County District Clerk to file his divorce documents in the proper court. This court s mandamus jurisdiction is governed by section 22.221 of the Texas Government Code. Section 22.221 expressly limits the mandamus jurisdiction of the courts of appeals to: (1) writs against a district court judge or county court judge in the court of appeals district, and (2) all writs necessary to enforce the court of appeals jurisdiction. Tex. Gov t Code Ann. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004). Because the petition for writ of mandamus is directed toward the Harris County District Clerk and is not necessary to enforce this court s jurisdiction, we have no jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov t Code Ann. § 22.221(b)(1). Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is ordered dismissed. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Anderson, Frost, and Seymore. 2
