IN RE NATHANIEL JONES III

________________________________________________________________________

Original Proceeding ________________________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Nathaniel Jones III has filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus asking

this Court to compel the District Clerk of Jefferson County to file and issue citation

in lawsuits he filed with the Clerk. This Court has jurisdiction to issue a writ 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) (West 2004). We may exercise

mandamus jurisdiction over a district clerk only when the official’s actions

interfere with this Court’s jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221(a).

Relator has not demonstrated any evidence which suggests that a writ of

mandamus should issue to enforce our jurisdiction. See id. Accordingly, the

1 Relator is not entitled to the relief sought. The petition for writ of mandamus is

denied. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).

PETITION DENIED.
