In re David Dwayne Hernandez
Original Proceeding
JUSTICE HARRIS delivered the opinion of the Court.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
In his petition for writ of mandamus, filed on July 1, 2026, David Dwayne Hernandez seeks to compel the court reporter to deliver transcripts Hernandez has requested. As a court of appeals, we only have jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a judge; we do not have jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a court reporter. See TEX. GOV’T CODE § 22.221(b); Lesikar v. Anthony, 750 S.W.2d 338, 339 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1988, orig. proceeding).
Accordingly, this petition is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
