No. 03-08-00658-CV (Tex. App. Nov. 14, 2008)

Opinion

No. 03-08-00658-CV

Filed: November 14, 2008.

Original Proceeding from Dallas County.

Before Justices PURYEAR, PEMBERTON and WALDROP.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Kevin Gamble requests that this Court issue a writ of mandamus ordering the Dallas County District Clerk to transmit documents. He also refers to a request for the official court reporter of the 282nd District Court in Dallas County to provide a reporter's record from his 1991 trial in Dallas County. We recently dismissed a petition from Gamble in which he similarly requested that a writ of mandamus issue against the district clerk of Dallas County. See In re Gamble, 03-08-00614-CV (Tex.App.-Austin Oct. 22, 2008, orig. proceeding). In that opinion, as in this case, we note that our mandamus authority does not extend beyond our district in such cases. See id.; see also Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004). Dallas County is not within this Court's geographical jurisdictional limits. See id. § 22.201(d) (West Supp. 2008). The petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed.
