Court of Appeals For The
First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-25-00771-CR NO. 01-25-00772-CR ——————————— IN RE DENARD MCCLAIRNE, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
In these two related mandamus proceedings, relator Denard McClairne
complains of a municipal judge’s order denying his motion to dismiss misdemeanor
charges against him.1
1 The underlying cases are State of Texas v. Denard McClairne, cause number 1942315, and State of Texas v. Denard McClairne, cause number 1942316, both pending in the Municipal Court of Missouri City, the Honorable Debra Sinclair presiding. Because we lack jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a municipal
court judge, and relator has not demonstrated any threat to our jurisdiction, we
dismiss relator’s petitions for writ of mandamus for lack of jurisdiction. See TEX.
GOV’T CODE § 22.221(a)–(c); In re Chang, 176 S.W.3d 451, 452 (Tex. App.—
Houston [1st Dist.] 2004, orig. proceeding). Any pending motions are likewise
dismissed as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Chief Justice Adams and Justices Morgan and Dokupil.
Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
