MEMORANDUM OPINION
On September 2, 2005, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See TEX. GOV'T. CODE ANN. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 52. Relator seeks a writ of mandamus against the county clerk for her alleged failure to file relator's motion in opposition to a proposed order for declaratory judgment.
Relator has not established that he is entitled to mandamus relief. We have no jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a clerk unless it is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. In re Washington, 7 S.W.3d 181, 182 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, orig. proceeding). In this instance, we do not have jurisdiction over relator's complaint.
Further, relator's petition fails to meet the requisites of Rule 52 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. Accordingly, we deny relator's petition for writ of mandamus.
