                                MEMORANDUM OPINION

        Jason Marc Norton has filed a petition for writ of mandamus, requesting this Court

order a district judge in Brazoria County to grant Norton’s motion and order the release

of records so that Norton can pursue an out-of-time appeal. There are procedural

problems with Norton’s petition; however, we use Rule 2 to proceed to a timely

disposition. TEX. R. APP. P. 2.

        This Court has no jurisdiction over proceedings in Brazoria County. See TEX. GOV'T

CODE ANN. § 22.201(k) (West 2004).1 Accordingly, Norton’s petition is dismissed for want

 Brazoria County is in the jurisdiction of the 1st and14th Courts of Appeals. TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. §
22.201(b), (o) (West 2004). Norton’s original appeal was transferred to this Court by a docket equalization
of jurisdiction.
