                              NUMBER 13-05-662-CR

                         COURT OF APPEALS

                     THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                         CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

                                      IN RE: CHARLEY N. WHITE

                                  On Petition for Writ of Mandamus

                               MEMORANDUM OPINION

           Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Castillo and Garza

                                 Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam    

On October 26, 2005, relator 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.  Relator seeks a writ of mandamus against the district clerk of Nueces County requiring the district clerk Ato serve on him . . . [certain] documents and any answers and orders given by the trial court . . . .@

We have no authority to issue a writ of mandamus against a district clerk unless such is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction.  See In re Coronado, 980 S.W.2d 691, 692 (Tex. App.CSan Antonio 1998, orig. proceeding).  Relator has not established that he is entitled to mandamus relief.  Specifically, relator has not established how, if at all, the district clerk=s failure to fulfill his requests deprives this Court of jurisdiction.  Accordingly, we deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus.
