Opinion
In The Court of Appeals Seventh District of Texas at Amarillo
No. 07-25-00107-CR
IN RE KODY CLIMER, RELATOR
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
April 14, 2025 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before QUINN, C.J., and DOSS and YARBROUGH, JJ.
Relator, Kody Climer, seeks a writ of mandamus from this Court directing the
Lubbock County District Attorney’s Office and his former defense counsel to provide him
copies of the clerk’s and reporter’s records filed in his criminal case. We dismiss the
petition for want of jurisdiction.
We have authority to issue writs of mandamus against a judge of a district or county
court in our appeals district and all writs necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. See TEX.
GOV’T CODE ANN. §§ 22.221(a), (b). Climer does not request mandamus relief against a
district or county judge and has not demonstrated how issuance of the requested writ is
necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. Consequently, we are without authority to issue said writ. See In re Youngstrom, No. 07-14-00210-CV, 2014 Tex. App. LEXIS 6528, at
*1–2 (Tex. App.—Amarillo June 16, 2014, no pet.) (mem. op.) (holding same).
Accordingly, Climer’s petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for want of
jurisdiction.
