Original Mandamus Proceeding

                                                                                                                                            
                                           

Before Morriss, C.J., Ross and Carter, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Ross

MEMORANDUM OPINION

          Kim Wayne Burden has filed a petition for writ of mandamus in which he asks us to
order the district clerk of the 276th Judicial District Court, Camp County, Texas, to issue
citation in a lawsuit he states he has filed with that court against Charles Bailey.  
          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
Supp. 2004).  In the context of the facts alleged by Burden in this proceeding, we have no
mandamus jurisdiction over a district clerk.
          We deny the petition.
