Petition for Writ of Mandamus Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed September 23, 2010. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals ____________ NO. 14-10-00869-CR ____________ IN RE JIMMIE MARK PARROTT Relator ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS MEMORANDUM OPINION On September 13, 2010, relator, Jimmie Mark Parrott, 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. In the petition, relator asked this court to compel the Harris County District Clerk to provide him with file-stamped copies confirming documents he has filed. 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 Brown. Do Not Publish TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b). 2
