On Appeal from the Court of Appeals, State of Texas

Sixth Appellate District

Cause No. 06-02-00009-CV

Before Cornelius, C.J., Grant and Ross, JJ.

Opinion by Justice Grant

O P I N I O N

Michael J. Frischenmeyer has filed a Notice of Appeal. The background for this case is that Frischenmeyer filed a petition seeking a writ of mandamus involving DNA testing. We denied the petition. He filed a Motion for Rehearing which we overruled.

In his Notice of Appeal, Frischenmeyer attempts to appeal to this court from this court's disposition of his petition for writ of mandamus. The appellate jurisdiction of this court is statutorily controlled. This court has jurisdiction over appeals from judgments of trial courts or from certain legislatively specified interlocutory orders. Deloitte & Touche LLP v. Fourteenth Court of Appeals, 951 S.W.2d 394 (Tex. 1997); N.E. Indep. Sch. Dist. v. Aldridge, 400 S.W.2d 893, 895 (Tex. 1966); see, e.g., Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.012 (Vernon 1997) (final judgment of district and county courts), § 51.014 (Vernon Supp. 2002) (list of interlocutory orders); Tex. R. Civ. P. 76a(8) (immediate appeal from order granting or denying sealing of court records).

We do not have jurisdiction over an attempted appeal from a ruling by this court in any type of case. The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
