IN RE RALPH O. DOUGLAS, Relator
 
 

 
ORIGINAL
PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
 

 
M E M O R
A N D U M  O P I N I O N
On April
21, 2009, Relator, Ralph O. Douglas, filed a AMOTION TO ORDER THE TERRELL UNIT MAILROOM TO
MAKE COPIES OF THE LEGAL MAIL LOG BOOK.@  In light of the relief sought, we
construe relator=s motion as a petition for writ of mandamus.  See Tex. Gov=t Code Ann '22.221 (Vernon 2004); see  also  Tex. R. App. P. 52.1. 

This
Court=s mandamus jurisdiction is governed
by section 22.221 of the Texas Government Code.   Section 22.221 expressly
limits the mandamus jurisdiction of the courts of appeals to:  (1) writs
against a district court judge or county court judge in the court of appeals= district, and (2) all writs
necessary to enforce the court of appeals= jurisdiction.  Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 22.221 (Vernon 2004).  Relator
requests we issue an order directed to the AC.T. Terrell=s mailroom.@  Because we have no jurisdiction
over the AC.T. Terrell=s mailroom@, relator's petition for writ
of mandamus is ordered dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
