                    IN RE JEREMY DAVID HOWARD

                         Original Mandamus Proceeding

                     MEMORANDUM OPINION
      Relator, Jeremy David Howard, has filed a pro se petition for writ of
mandamus complaining of the “Shelby County District Court” with respect to
relator’s criminal proceedings.
      TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(b)(1) (West 2004) provides that each court
of appeals for a court of appeals district may issue all writs of mandamus,
agreeable to the principles of law regulating those writs, “against a judge of a
district or county court in the court of appeals district.” Shelby County is not in the
Eleventh Court of Appeals District. TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.201(l) (West
Supp. 2012). Instead, Shelby County is in the Twelfth Court of Appeals District.
See GOV’T § 22.201(m). Therefore, we do not have jurisdiction to issue a writ of
mandamus against either a judge or district court of Shelby County.
      Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for want of
jurisdiction.
