IN RE HARVEY BRAMLETT, JR., Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

M E M O R A N D U M  O P I N I O N

On March 24, 2009, relator, Harvey Bramlett, Jr., filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court.  See Tex. Gov=t Code Ann '22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.1.  In the petition, relator requests that we compel the Honorable Kenneth Keeling, presiding judge of the 287th District Court of Walker County, to vacate his March 31, 2008 and April 15, 2008 orders directing that court costs and fees in the underlying case be paid out of relator=s inmate trust account as void because of a subsequent transfer of venue to Potter County. 

Each court of appeals for a court of appeals district may issue all writs of mandamus against a judge of a district or county court in the court of appeals district.  Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 22.221(b)(1).  Walker County is not a county within our district.  Therefore, we are without jurisdiction to consider relator=s petition. 

Accordingly, relator=s petition for writ of mandamus is ordered dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Hedges and Justices Anderson and Seymore.
