Opinion issued March 8, 2018

In The

C ourt of Appeals

For The

First District of Texas

An appellate court’s power to issue a writ of mandamus is limited by statute.

We may issue a writ of mandamus if it is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. We

may also issue a writ of mandamus against a judge of a district, statutory county,

statutory probate, or county court in our district. See TEX. GOV’T CODE § 22.221(a)-

(b). Relator has not demonstrated that his requested relief falls within our statutory

power. Because we may not issue the relief relator seeks, we deny the petition. See

TEX. R. APP . P. 52.8(a).

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Bland, Lloyd, and Caughey. Do not publish. TEX. R. APP . P. 47.2(b).
