This Court s mandamus jurisdiction is governed by section 22.221 of the Texas Government Code. Section 22.221 expressly limits our mandamus jurisdiction to: (1) writs against a district court judge or county court judge in this Court s district, and (2) all writs necessary to enforce this Court s jurisdiction. Tex. Gov t Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004). The issuance of a writ against the court reporter in this case is not necessary to enforce this Court s jurisdiction.
