MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator Joe Diaz Soto filed a petition for writ of mandamus, in which he asks this Court to compel the district clerk to "receive and process letters, legal motions[,] and documents[.]" The district clerk is not a person against whom we may issue a writ of mandamus other than to enforce our jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221(a), (b) (West 2004). Relator has not shown that issuance of a writ against the district clerk is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. See In re Pennington, No. 09-08-370 CV, 2008 WL 4425521, at *1 (Tex. App.-Beaumont Oct. 2, 2008, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.). Relator has not demonstrated that he is entitled to mandamus relief from this Court. See State ex rel. Hill v. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Dist., 34 S.W.3d 924, 927 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001). Accordingly, we deny relief on the petition for writ of mandamus. PETITION DENIED.
