In re Wendi Mae Davidson
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TOM GREEN COUNTY
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator Wendi Mae Davidson filed a petition for writ of mandamus, requesting that this Court compel the district clerk to provide her with a copy of the clerk's record and reporter's record for her appeal. By statute, this Court has no authority to issue a writ of mandamus against a district clerk unless required to enforce our jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov't Code § 22.221. Because Davidson does not seek a writ of mandamus to enforce our jurisdiction, we dismiss her petition for writ of mandamus for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
This Court has now provided Davidson, who is indigent and an inmate incarcerated in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, with a copy of the clerk's record and reporter's record for her related appeal, No. 03-19-542-cv, Davidson v. Davidson.
