in Re Jeffery Marx

Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-22-00449-CV

In re Jeffery Marx

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM BURNET COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator Jeffery Marx has filed a document, which we treat as a petition for writ of

mandamus based on the substance of his filing, complaining that the Burnet County district clerk

has failed to file certain documents. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a); see also Surgitek,

Bristol-Myers Corp. v. Abel, 997 S.W.2d 598, 601 (Tex. 1999). As an intermediate appellate

court, this Court has no jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a district clerk unless

necessary to enforce our jurisdiction, see Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.221(a); In re Washington,

7 S.W.3d 181, 182 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, orig. proceeding), and our jurisdiction

is not implicated here. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for want

of jurisdiction. __________________________________________ Edward Smith, Justice
