IN RE Anthony CISNEROS
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Original Mandamus Proceeding PER CURIAM Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2013-PA-02118, styled In the Interest of J.J.C., et al., Children, pending in the 37th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, the Honorable Charles E. Montemayor presiding.
On August 25, 2014, relator Anthony Cisneros filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus, seeking an order directing the district clerk to provide him with copies of certain documents from the clerk's record in the underlying parental termination proceeding. This court does not have jurisdiction to grant the requested relief. By statute, this court has the authority to issue a writ of mandamus against "a judge of a district or county court in the court of appeals district" and other writs as necessary to enforce our appellate jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 22.221(a)-(b) (West 2004). We conclude the writ is not necessary to enforce our appellate jurisdiction in this instance. Accordingly, relator's petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
An accelerated appeal of the termination order signed July 17, 2014, is currently pending in this court in Appeal No. 04-14-00577-CV, styled In the Interest of J.J.C., A.C., Je.J.C., Children.
