Before Justices WRIGHT, O'NEILL, and LANG Opinion by Justice Wright
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator seeks mandamus relief to compel the district clerk to issue process in his case as provided by article 2.21 of the code of criminal procedure. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 2.21 (Vernon Supp. 2006). We do not have jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a district clerk unless it is necessary to enforce our own jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221(a) (Vernon 2004); In re Washington, 7 S.W.3d 181, 182 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, we DISMISS relator's petition for writ of mandamus for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
