IN RE GAIL NEWTON AND DENNIS NEWTON, Relators
Original Proceeding from the County Court at Law No. 4 Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 004-01623-2019
MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Bridges, Osborne, and Carlyle Opinion by Justice Carlyle In this original proceeding, relators seek a writ of mandamus ordering Collin County Clerk
Stacy Kemp to “rescind all wet ink signatures and immediately non-suit any and all judicial
claims.” We do not have jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a county clerk except to
protect our jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV’T CODE § 22.221; In re High Pointe Invs., LLC, 552 S.W.3d
384, 389 (Tex. App.—Waco 2018, orig. proceeding). Relator has not shown that the issuance of a
writ compelling the requested relief is necessary to enforce this Court’s appellate jurisdiction.
Therefore, we do not have jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against the Collin County
Clerk. We dismiss this proceeding for want of jurisdiction.
/Cory L. Carlyle/ CORY L. CARLYLE JUSTICE 190838F.P05
