IN RE BILLY KARL HILL, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

MEMORANDUM OPINION

            On February 9, 2010, Relator, Billy Karl Hill, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court.  See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann §22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.1.

            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 (Vernon 2004).  Because the petition for writ of mandamus is directed toward a district court outside of this court’s district 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 Chief Justice Hedges and Justices Anderson and Christopher.
