MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
On July 20, 2022, relator Matthew Brawner filed a petition for a writ of mandamus seeking to compel the Sheriff of Bandera County, Texas to perform certain acts. 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." In re Lann, No. 04-04-00564-CV, 2004 WL 1881751, at *1 (Tex. App.-San Antonio Aug. 25, 2004, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.) (citing Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221) (internal quotations omitted). Brawner has not cited any authority, and we are unaware of any, that evidences a writ of mandamus may be issued to command a county Sheriff to act. Further, Brawner has made no such allegation or showing that a writ of mandamus is necessary here to enforce this court's jurisdiction.
After considering the petition, this court concludes it is without jurisdiction over this petition. See Tex. Gov't Code § 22.221. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed.
