In re Paul Young
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM COMAL COUNTY
Before Chief Justice Byrne, Justices Triana and Smith
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Darlene Byrne, Chief Justice
Relator Paul Young, an inmate in the Comal County Jail, filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus in this Court. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.1. In his petition, Young asks this Court to direct the "Comal County Clerk" to file a Motion for Bond Reduction and other unspecified motions he alleges were mailed to the clerk. By statute, an appellate court has no authority to issue a writ of mandamus against a county or district clerk except as necessary to enforce the court's jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov't Code § 22.221(a). Because Young does not seek a writ of mandamus to enforce our jurisdiction, we dismiss his petition for writ of mandamus for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
