                                                Court of Appeals

                        Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana

                                                ______________________________

                                                             No. 06-11-00096-CR

                                                                        IN RE:

CALVIN YARBROUGH

                                                     Original Mandamus Proceeding

                                          Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.

                                        Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss

                                                      MEMORANDUM OPINION

            Calvin Yarbrough has filed a document with this Court that we deem to be a request for relief through a petition for writ of mandamus.   He has no pending appeal, but asks us to order the Harrison County District Clerk to produce and provide him with a complete certified transcription of the grand jury minutes, presumably from the cause underlying his 2005 conviction for aggravated assault.

            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).   In this context, the relief sought by Yarbrough against a district clerk is not within the jurisdictional authority of this Court.

            We deny the petition for writ of mandamus.

                                                                                    Chief Justice
