Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-20-00143-CV

In re Wendi Mae Davidson

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TOM GREEN COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator Wendi Mae Davidson filed a petition for writ of mandamus, requesting

that this Court compel the district clerk to provide her with a copy of the clerk’s record and

reporter’s record for her appeal. 1 By statute, this Court has no authority to issue a writ of

mandamus against a district clerk unless required to enforce our jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov’t

Code § 22.221. Because Davidson does not seek a writ of mandamus to enforce our jurisdiction,

we dismiss her petition for writ of mandamus for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P.

52.8(a).
