COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

IN RE: ARNOLD W. SCHUENEMANN

On Petitions for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Rodriguez, Garza, and Benavides Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam Relator, Arnold W. Schuenemann, filed ten petitions for writ of mandamus in which

he requests that this Court direct respondent, the Honorable George “Bill” Robinson,

presiding judge of the Municipal Court of Yorktown, Texas, to rule on relator’s “Motion to

Plea In-Absentia for Misdemeanor Offense” dated April 15, 2009, including relator’s

request for the trial court to pronounce punishment in ten different criminal cause numbers,

and for credit for time served in the DeWitt County Jail and Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Institutional Division.

This Court, having reviewed and fully considered relator’s petitions, is of the opinion

that we lack jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a municipal court judge. See

TEX . GOV’T CODE ANN . § 22.221 (Vernon 2004) (noting that a court of appeals may issue

a writ of mandamus only against a judge of a district or county court in the court of appeals

district). Accordingly, relator’s petitions for writ of mandamus are DISMISSED FOR WANT

OF JURISDICTION.

PER CURIAM

Do not publish. TEX . R. APP. P. 47.2(b).

Delivered and filed the 30th day of December, 2009.
