                              IN RE BILLY BOOKER

                                Original Proceeding

                           From the 413th District Court
                              Johnson County, Texas
                              Trial Court No. F48257

                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Relator’s “Plaintiff’s Original Application for Writ of Mandamus” was filed on

July 27, 2021. Relator’s request for mandamus relief against the Honorable William

Bosworth, judge of the 414th District Court, is denied.

      Further, we do not have mandamus jurisdiction to compel the district clerk or the

district attorney to take any action except in rare circumstances which are not present

here. See TEXAS GOV'T CODE § 22.221(a), (b); see also In re Simmonds, 271 S.W.3d 874, 879

(Tex. App.—Waco 2008, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, relator’s request for mandamus

relief against the Johnson County District Clerk and District Attorney is dismissed.
