Original Mandamus Proceeding.
Before MORRISS, C.J., ROSS and CARTER, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Harland Vetter has filed a petition for writ of mandamus in which he asks us to order the court reporter of the 1st Judicial District Court in Sabine County to immediately prepare and file the record of his trial. This Court has jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a "judge of a district or county court in the court of appeals district; . . ." TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 22.221(b) (Vernon 2004). We do not have jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a court reporter in this context.
We recognize that Sabine County is not within the territorial jurisdiction of this Court. The underlying appeal, however, was transferred to this Court from the Tyler Court of Appeals by order of the Texas Supreme Court.
The petition is denied.
