IN RE Robert MARTINEZ
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Original Mandamus Proceeding PER CURIAM Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 307125, styled State v. Robert Martinez, pending in the County Court at Law No. 5, Bexar County, Texas, the Honorable John Longoria presiding. --------
On August 8, 2016, Relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus seeking an order from this court directing the clerk of the county court and a court reporter to provide him with copies of transcripts of hearings held on February 4, 2014, July 8, 2014, and December 19, 2014. This court only has the authority to issue a writ of mandamus against "a judge of a district or county court in the court of appeals district" and other writs as necessary to enforce our appellate jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 22.221(a)-(b) (West 2004). Because Relator failed to show the requested writ of mandamus is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction, Relator's petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
