Opinion
In The Court of Appeals Seventh District of Texas at Amarillo
No. 07-15-00301-CV
NANCY WEDGEWORTH, APPELLANT
V.
CITY OF AMARILLO, ET AL., APPELLEES
On Appeal from the 47th District Court Potter County, Texas Trial Court No. 104164-A, Honorable Dan L. Schaap, Presiding
April 28, 2016
ORDER Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.
Appellant Nancy Wedgeworth, appearing pro se, has filed a document on April
25, 2016, requesting a “restraining order” enjoining the City of Amarillo and its
contractors from entering upon property she currently rents and other properties in
Amarillo.
The writ power of a court of appeals is limited. By statute, the writ of mandamus
may issue against a district or county court judge in our court of appeals district. TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(b) (West 2004). We also may issue a writ of mandamus
“and all other writs necessary to enforce the jurisdiction of the court.” TEX. GOV’T CODE
ANN. § 22.221(a); see TEX. R. APP. P. 52.1 (listing writs). Although Wedgeworth has an
appeal pending before the Court, the relief she seeks by her current filing is not
necessary to enforce our jurisdiction over her pending appeal. Nor, by her present filing,
does she seek relief against a judge in our court of appeals district. We do not have
jurisdiction over her request for relief. Accordingly, Wedgeworth’s request for relief is
dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
