TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                       NO. 03-22-00470-CV

                                   In re Kerry Lynn Gallagher

                      ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY

                             MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Relator has filed a petition for writ of injunction seeking to restrain the justice of

the peace, an attorney, and the State of Texas from taking further action in an underlying eviction

proceeding. Our injunctive power is limited to preventing a litigant from taking actions. See

In re Tex. Dep’t of Transp., 583 S.W.3d 794, 798 (Tex. App.—El Paso 2019, orig. proceeding).

Moreover, Relator has failed to demonstrate our jurisdiction is implicated here or that any

pending appeal exists before us. In re Olson, 252 S.W.3d 747, 747–48 (Tex. App.—Houston

[14th Dist.] 2008, orig. proceeding); see also Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.221(a). Accordingly, we

dismiss the petition for writ of injunction for want of jurisdiction.

                                               __________________________________________
                                               Darlene Byrne, Chief Justice
