TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-24-00640-CV
In re Delarick W. Evans
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator Delarick W. Evans has filed a petition for writ of mandamus naming as
respondent the “Texas Bond Board”. While Evans has styled his claim as one for mandamus relief,
it is unclear from his petition which public official Evans seeks mandamus relief from or what he
is asking this Court to order that official to do.
We have no jurisdiction to grant Evan’s requested relief. By statute, except as
necessary to enforce our jurisdiction, this Court lacks authority to issue a writ of mandamus against
anyone other than “a judge of a district, statutory county, statutory probate county, or county court”
in our appeals district. See Tex. Gov't Code § 22.221(a), (b); In re Washington, 7 S.W.3d 181,
182 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, orig. proceeding) (per curiam). Evans has not
demonstrated that the requested relief is necessary to enforce our appellate jurisdiction.
Accordingly, we dismiss relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.
