IN RE JODY FLOYD MATHES
Original Proceeding
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Jody Floyd Mathes filed a petition for writ of mandamus to compel the preparation of a chronological itemized list of all documents filed in Cause Nos. 09-06-05587-CR and 09-06-05589-CR, in the 221st District Court of Montgomery County, Texas. He also requests that this Court either order the respondents to allow him to purchase the clerk's and reporter's records from a prepared chronological list of documents or issue a declaratory judgment of his rights.
This Court lacks mandamus jurisdiction over a district clerk or a district attorney unless it is necessary to enforce this Court's jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004). This Court has mandamus jurisdiction against a judge of a district court in our geographic jurisdiction, but after reviewing the mandamus petition and record, we conclude that Mathes has not demonstrated that he has a clear right to the relief he seeks from the Judge of the 221st District Court of Montgomery County, Texas. See id. § 221.21(b)(1); see also In re State ex rel. Tharp, 393 S.W.3d 751, 754 (Tex. Crim. App. 2012) (To be entitled to mandamus relief, the relator must show that he has a clear right to the relief sought.). Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus.
PETITION DENIED.
PER CURIAM Do Not Publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Horton, JJ.
