DENY and Opinion Filed December 22, 2021 In the Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-21-01121-CV IN RE PAMELA NESBIT, Relator Original Proceeding from the County Court at Law No. 4 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. CC-19-02580-D MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Myers, Partida-Kipness, and Carlyle Opinion by Justice Carlyle Relator’s December 20, 2021 filing—which we construe as a petition for writ of injunction and request for emergency stay—challenges her eviction. We deny the petition on the merits and deny the request as moot. “Each court of appeals . . . may issue . . . all . . . writs necessary to enforce the jurisdiction of the court.” TEX. GOV’T CODE § 22.221(a). A court of appeals does not have original jurisdiction to grant writs of injunction, “except to protect its jurisdiction over the subject matter of a pending appeal, or to prevent an unlawful interference with the enforcement of its judgments and decrees.” In re Torres, No. 05-18-00774-CV, 2018 WL 4784580, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas Oct. 4, 2018, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.) (quoting Ott v. Bell, 606 S.W.2d 955, 957 (Tex. App.—Waco 1980, no writ)). Here, relator has not shown that a writ of injunction is necessary to protect our jurisdiction over a pending appeal in this Court or to prevent interference with the enforcement of one of this Court’s judgments. Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of injunction, see TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a), and we deny relator’s request for emergency relief as moot. 211121f.p05 /Cory L. Carlyle/ CORY L.
