Opinion

No. 01-05-00903-CR

Opinion issued October 20, 2005.

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus.

Panel consists of Justices NUCHIA, JENNINGS, and HIGLEY.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Relator Charles L. Grable, who is a prisoner acting pro se, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus in which he complains that Harris County assistant district attorney, Terese B. Buess," failed to disclose on the record, or at any other time, her use of threats of additional prosecutions not supported by probable cause to induce Relator's guilty plea."

Texas Government Code section 22.221 limits the mandamus jurisdiction of the courts of appeals to (1) writs against a district court judge or county court judge in the court of appeals district and (2) all writs necessary to enforce the court of appeals jurisdiction. Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221(a), (b) (Vernon 2004). Because this is not a petition requesting this Court to issue a writ of mandamus against a district or county court judge, and this is not a petition to enforce this Court's jurisdiction, we have no subject-matter jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus directed at assistant district attorney, Terese B. Buess. See id.

Accordingly, we dismiss relator's petition for a writ of mandamus for lack of jurisdiction.
