In Re Denard McClairne v. the State of Texas

Opinion

Opinion issued September 23, 2025

In The

Court of Appeals

For The

First District of Texas

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Do not publish.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).
