Petition for Writ of Mandamus Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed August 16, 2011. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-11-00678-CR IN RE DAVID LORENZA JOYNER, Relator ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 174th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1310608 MEMORANDUM OPINION On August 2, 2011, relator David Lorenza Joyner filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov t Code Ann. §22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Harris County District Clerk and the court reporter for the 174th District Court of Harris County to provide him with a copy of the record from his trial. 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. Because the petition for writ of mandamus is directed toward the Harris County District Clerk and the court reporter, 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 Frost, Seymore, and Jamison. Do Not Publish TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b). 2
