TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-22-00627-CV In re Paul Young ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM COMAL COUNTY MEMORANDUM OPINION Relator Paul Young, an inmate in the Comal County Jail, filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus in this Court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.1. In his petition, Young asks this Court to direct the “Comal County Clerk” to file a Motion for Bond Reduction and other unspecified motions he alleges were mailed to the clerk. By statute, an appellate court has no authority to issue a writ of mandamus against a county or district clerk except as necessary to enforce the court’s jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.221(a). Because Young does not seek a writ of mandamus to enforce our jurisdiction, we dismiss his petition for writ of mandamus for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a). __________________________________________ Darlene Byrne, Chief Justice Before Chief Justice Byrne, Justices Triana and Smith Filed: October 7, 2022
