                                EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
                                     EL PASO, TEXAS

 IN RE: GREGORY MARK LEVITZ,                     §
                                                                 No. 08-13-00188-CR
                         Relator.                §
                                                           AN ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
                                                 §
                                                                   IN MANDAMUS
                                                 §

                                                 §

                                                 §

                                 MEMORANDUM OPINION

       Relator, Gregory M. Levitz, has filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus in which he

asks this Court to order the 70th District Court of Ector County to render a ruling on his motion to

dismiss the judgment to re-pay the court appointed attorney’s fees.

       We have jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a district or county court judge in

our district and against a district court judge acting as a magistrate in a court of inquiry in our

district. TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(b) (West 2004). However, because Ector County is

not within the Eighth Court of Appeals district, we are without jurisdiction to consider Relator’s

petition. See id. at § 22.201(i), (l); In re Davis, 87 S.W.3d 794, 795 (Tex. App. – Texarkana 2002,

orig. proceeding). Accordingly, we dismiss Relator’s petition for writ of mandamus for want of
jurisdiction.
