in Re Evatrus D. Moss

Opinion

Opinion issued August 2, 2016

In The

Court of Appeals

For The

First District of Texas

Once our plenary power expires, we no longer have jurisdiction to vacate or

modify our judgment. See TEX. R. APP. P. 19.3. Because Moss filed no motion for

rehearing in cause number 01–95–00571–CV, and no petition for review was filed

with the Texas Supreme Court, this Court’s jurisdiction over this cause expired 60

days after our judgment issued on November 16, 1995. See Saudi v. Brieven, 176

S.W.3d 108, 117 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2004, pet. denied); TEX. R. APP.

P. 19.1. Accordingly, we have no jurisdiction to grant mandamus relief. See TEX.

GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221 (West 2004) (appellate courts have jurisdiction to grant

writs of mandamus against district or county court judges or to enforce our

jurisdiction).

We dismiss the petition for lack of jurisdiction.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Keyes, Brown, and Huddle.
