Opinion issued June 2, 2011.

Original Proceeding from the Justice of the Peace Court Precinct 5, Place 2 Dallas County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. JS-10-00332P.

Before Justices BRIDGES, FitzGERALD, and MURPHY.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Before the Court is relator's petition for writ of mandamus seeking review of a ruling of the justice of the peace. The facts and issues are well known to the parties, so we need not recount them herein. This Court does not have mandamus jurisdiction over the justice of the peace. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004); Casner v. Rosas, 943 S.W.2d 937 (Tex. App.-El Paso 1997, orig. proceeding); Easton v. Franks, 842 S.W.2d 772, 773 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 1992, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, we DISMISS relator's petition for a writ of mandamus for want of jurisdiction.
