IN RE ZAHIR QUERISHI, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS

315th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court No. 86707

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On March 8, 2012, relator Zahir Querishi filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov=t Code § 22.221 ; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.1. In the petition, relator asks this court to order the respondent, Chris Daniel, Harris County District Clerk, to forward a copy of the order denying his petition for writ of habeas corpus to relator.

This court’s mandamus jurisdiction is governed by section 22.221 of the Texas Government Code. Section 22.221 expressly limits the mandamus jurisdiction of the courts of appeals to: (1) writs against a district court judge or county court judge in the court of appeals’ district, and (2) all writs necessary to enforce the court of appeals’

jurisdiction. Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221. Because the petition for writ of mandamus is directed toward a district clerk and is not necessary to enforce this court’s jurisdiction, we have no jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221(b)(1).

Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is ordered dismissed.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Hedges and Justices Seymore and Boyce.
