In The

C ourt of Appeals For The

First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-18-00022-CR ——————————— IN RE JASON WAYNE MCBRIDE, Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator Jason Wayne McBride seeks a writ of mandamus to compel the Comal

County District Attorney to provide relator with copies of certain listed documents. 1

We have no power to issue the requested writ.

1 The underlying case is Ex parte Jason Wayne McBride, cause number CR2016-008, pending in the 207th District Court of Comal County, Texas, the Honorable R. Bruce Boyer, presiding. 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 Do not publish.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).
