In Re Earl Glenn Conner, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

178^th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court No. 542471

MEMORANDUM   OPINION

On May 6, 2011, relator Earl Glenn Conner filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court.  See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. §22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.  In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Harris County District Clerk to provide a copy of his trial record free of charge.

This court’s mandamus jurisdiction is governed by section 22.221 of the Texas Government Code.  Section 22.221 expressly limits the mandamus jurisdiction of the courts of appeals to:  (1) writs against a district court judge or county court judge in the court of appeals’ district, and (2) all writs necessary to enforce the court of appeals’ jurisdiction.  Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221.  Because the petition for writ of mandamus is directed toward the Harris County District Clerk and is not necessary to enforce this court’s jurisdiction, we have no jurisdiction.  See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221(b)(1).

Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is ordered dismissed.

                                                                                    PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Frost, Jamison, and McCally.
