IN RE JAMES MARCUS MILES, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Injunction
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, James Marcus Miles, has filed a petition for a writ of injunction, seeking to enjoin the trial court from proceeding with matters related to an appeal bond and prevent him from being "transferred to illegal confinement pending appeal." This Court may issue a writ of injunction only to enforce this Court's jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 22.221(a). We do not have jurisdiction to issue a writ of injunction to preserve the status quo or prevent damage to a party during an appeal. In re Lasik Plus of Tex., P.A., No. 14-13-00036-CV, 2013 WL 816674, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] Mar. 5, 2013, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.); Becker v. Becker, 639 S.W.2d 23, 24 (Tex.

App.—Houston [14th Dist.] Sept. 30, 2010, orig. proceeding) (mem. op., not designated for publication) (dismissing petition for writ of injunction and prohibition).
The petition identifies the underlying case as The State of Texas v. James Marcus Miles, cause number 1509077, in the 179th District Court of Harris County, Texas, the Honorable Randy Roll presiding.
We dismiss the petition.
