IN RE ARTHUR JOHNSON, Relator
 
 

 
ORIGINAL
PROCEEDING
WRIT
OF MANDAMUS
 

 
M E M O R A N D U M   O
P I N I O N
On September 2, 2005, relator 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.   Relator seeks a writ of mandamus against the
county clerk for her alleged failure to file relator=s motion in opposition to a proposed
order for declaratory judgment. 

Relator has not established that he is entitled to mandamus
relief.  We have no jurisdiction to issue
a writ of mandamus against a clerk unless it is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction.  In re Washington, 7 S.W.3d 181, 182
(Tex. App.CHouston [1st Dist.] 1999, orig.
proceeding).  In this instance, we do not
have jurisdiction over relator=s complaint.  Further,
relator=s petition fails to meet the
requisites of Rule 52 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.  Accordingly, we deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus.
