MEMORANDUM OPINION
Original Mandamus Proceeding

PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
On April 30, 2014, Relator Harold Bowens, Jr. filed a petition for writ of mandamus, seeking relief with respect to an original complaint and petition he alleges he filed on April 2, 2014. Relator complains the Bexar County District Clerk has not responded. 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.
