IN THE
                          TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

                                 No. 10-18-00120-CR

                           IN RE JASON ALAN WELLS

                                 Original Proceeding

                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

       Jason Allen Wells filed petition for writ of mandamus requesting this Court to

order the deputy sheriff of Johnson County to send him a chronological list of all of his

criminal offenses. A court of appeals has no jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus

against a deputy except to protect or enforce its jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. §

22.221 (West Supp. 2017). We dismiss Wells’s petition for writ of mandamus against the

deputy sheriff for want of jurisdiction.

       Justice Scoggins
