In re Robert Lee Martin
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator Robert Lee Martin filed a petition for writ of mandamus raising various complaints against Travis County District Clerk Velva Price. However, as an intermediate appellate court, we may issue writs of mandamus only against a district judge or county judge sitting in our district, or to enforce our jurisdiction, none of which are implicated here. See Tex. Gov't Code § 22.221(b); In re Simpson, 997 S.W.2d 939 (Tex. App.—Waco 1999, orig. proceeding); In re Strickhausen, 994 S.W.2d 936 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, orig. proceeding).
Martin captioned this filing as an appeal but no trial court order or judgment is challenged here, only complaints against the district clerk. Thus, we consider his filing as a mandamus petition. --------
The petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
