TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                        NO. 03-10-00314-CV

                                   In re Gerald Anthony Wright

                      ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY

                              MEMORANDUM OPINION

                Gerald Anthony Wright has petitioned the Court for a writ of mandamus directing the

board of pardons and paroles to release him to mandatory supervision. The Court is authorized to

issue all writs of mandamus against a judge of a district or county court in its district, but the Court’s

mandamus authority is otherwise limited to the enforcement of its jurisdiction. Tex. Gov’t Code

Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004). Wright’s claim against the parole board does not implicate the Court’s

jurisdiction. The petition for writ of mandamus is denied.

                                                J. Woodfin Jones, Chief Justice

Before Chief Justice Jones, Justices Pemberton and Waldrop
