MEMORANDUM OPINION


On July 18, 2005, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus, asking this court to order the district clerk to "issue citation" in a pending lawsuit. This court does not have jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a district clerk unless such writ is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. In re Coronado, 980 S.W.2d 691, 692 (Tex.App.-San Antonio 1998, orig. proceeding). Relator has not asserted that the writ he is requesting is necessary to enforce this court's jurisdiction, nor has he provided a record that would support such an argument. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex. 1992) (holding relator has burden of providing a sufficient record to establish right to mandamus relief). Accordingly, relator's petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
