In re Stephan Ricks
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY
M E M O R AN D U M O P I N I O N
Relator Stephan Ricks filed a petition for writ of mandamus directed to
an administrative hearing officer. However, we may issue writs of mandamus only against a
district judge or county judge sitting in our district, or to enforce our jurisdiction, none of which
are implicated here. See Tex. Const. art. V, § 6; Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.221(b); see also In re G.B.,
2008 Tex. App. LEXIS 3017, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] Apr. 23, 2008, orig. proceeding)
(mem. op.) (dismissing for want of jurisdiction relator’s mandamus petition directed to
administrative hearing officer).
The petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R.
App. P. 52.8(a).
