IN RE: BILLY RAY JOHNSON BY AND THROUGH NEXT FRIEND LUE WILSON
Original Mandamus Proceeding
Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Justice Carter MEMORANDUM OPINION
Counsel has filed a petition asking this Court to issue a writ of mandamus against Judge John
Ovard, Administrative Judge of the First Administrative Region, in Dallas, Texas. In the petition,
counsel complains because Ovard did not direct that a hearing be held on a motion that they filed
seeking to recuse a district judge.
This Court has jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against "a judge of a district or
county court in the court of appeals district." TEX . GOV 'T CODE ANN . § 22.221(b) (Vernon 2004).
Dallas County is not within the territorial jurisdiction of this Court, and Ovard is not a judge of a
district or county court within our district. See TEX . GOV 'T CODE ANN . § 22.201(g). We have no
jurisdiction over this petition.
We deny the petition for writ of mandamus.
Jack Carter Justice
Date Submitted: September 9, 2008 Date Decided: September 10, 2008
