Hilbig, Justice Delivered and Filed: August 27, 2008 PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION Jorge I. Quiroz filed a petition for writ of mandamus seeking to compel the District Clerk of Bexar County to provide him with a copy of the records from his criminal conviction for use in pursuing post-conviction remedies. This court has no mandamus jurisdiction over district clerks unless the issuance of the writ is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. In re O Brian, No. 04-0400453-CV, 2004 WL 1562148, at *1 (Tex. App. San Antonio July 14, 2004, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.); In re Coronado, 980 S.W.2d 691, 692 (Tex. App. San Antonio 1998, orig. proceeding). Because we have no jurisdiction over post-conviction writs of habeas corpus in felony cases, the district clerk s alleged refusal to provide Quiroz with a copy of his records does not affect our jurisdiction. In re O Brian, 2004 WL 1562148, at *1; In re Coronado, 980 S.W.2d at 692; TEX . 1 Relator seeks a writ of mandamus to compel Margaret Montemayor, District Clerk of Bexar County, to provide him with a copy of his records in cause No. 94-CR-5424. 04-08-00589-CR CODE CRIM .
