Original Proceeding from the Justice of the Peace Court, Precinct
Number 3, Place 1

Trial Court Cause No. JC 11-00336A

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Moseley, Richter, and Fillmore
Opinion by Justice Fillmore
 
 
Before the Court is relator's petition for writ of mandamus
complaining that the justice of the peace court granted a bill of review
overturning a default judgment. The facts and issues are well known to
the parties, so we need not recount them herein. This Court does not
have mandamus jurisdiction over the justice of the peace. See Tex. Gov't
Code Ann. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004); In re Spencer, No. 05-11-00636-CV,
2011 WL 2150782, at *1 (Tex. App.-Dallas June 2, 2011, orig. proceeding)
(mem. op.); Casner v. Rosas, 943 S.W.2d 937, 938 (Tex. App. - El Paso
1997, orig. proceeding); Easton v. Franks, 842 S.W.2d 772, 773 (Tex.
App. - Houston [1st Dist.] 1992, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, we
DISMISS relator's petition for a writ of mandamus for want of
jurisdiction.
