MEMORANDUM OPINION
On October 18, 2005, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See TEX. GOV'T. CODE ANN. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 52. In his petition, relator sought to have this court direct the "Time Credit Resolution System of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division" to release him from parole and remove his monitor in connection with relator's conviction for sexual assault of a child.
This court lacks jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against the respondent named by relator. See TEX. GOV'T. CODE ANN. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004) (granting courts of appeal the power to issue writs against district and county court judges in their appellate district and those writs necessary to enforce the appellate courts' jurisdiction). To the extent relator sought relief from the judge of the 183rd District Court, where relator states that new charges are pending, relator has not established that he is entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny relator's petition for writ of mandamus.
