Original Proceeding.

Writ Denied.

Before McKEITHEN, C.J., KREGER and HORTON, JJ.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Arnold Ray Lamotte, Jr., filed a petition for writ of mandamus on October 27, 2006. An inmate confined in the Correctional Institutions Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Lamotte seeks to compel prosecution of criminal charges by Polk County District Attorney John S. Holleman. The prosecuting authority for Polk County is not one of the persons against whom we may issue a writ of mandamus other than to protect our jurisdiction, and the relator has not shown that the writ is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004). The relator has not shown that he is entitled to the relief sought in his petition. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
