On May
12, 2008, relator, Roderick Ray Pendleton aka Derald Ray Colgrove, filed a
petition for writ of mandamus in this Court.  See Tex. Gov=t Code Ann '22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also
Tex. R. App. P. 52.1.  In the petition, relator requests this court to compel
the District Clerk of Harris County to forward his application for writ of
habeas corpus to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.  
We do
not have jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a district clerk
unless it is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction.  Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 22.221; In re Washington, 7
S.W.3d 181, 182 (Tex. App.CHouston [1st Dist.] 1999, orig. proceeding).  

Because
we do not have jurisdiction, the petition for writ of mandamus is ordered
dismissed.
