IN RE TED L. ROBERTSON, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
312th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2001-35725
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On August 15, 2012, 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. In the petition, relator asks this Court to compel the Honorable Eva M. Guzman, former judge of the 312th District Court of Harris County, to vacate a protective order entered at a default hearing on August 15, 2001. Relator was subsequently convicted of violation of the protective order and claims the protective order is void.Relator's application for writ of mandamus against a former district judge is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221(b)(1) (West 2004) (providing that court of appeals may issue writ of mandamus against "a judge of a district or county court in the court of appeals district").
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Frost, Christopher, and Jamison.
