An Original Proceeding in Mandamus.

Before Panel No. 1: LARSEN, McCLURE, and CHEW, JJ.


OPINION


Victor Bustos seeks a writ of mandamus to compel the El Paso District Attorney's Office to indict certain police officers for perjury. We have jurisdiction to issue writs of mandamus against judges of district or county courts in our district. Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221(b)(Vernon Supp. 2003). We may issue the writ against other officials only if necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. See id. § 22.221(a). The El Paso District Attorney's Office is not a judge within our district and Bustos has not demonstrated that issuing the writ against the office is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
