IN THE
                          TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

                                 No. 10-24-00022-CV

                        IN RE MARCUS D'SHUN LEWIS

                                Original Proceeding

                          From the County Court at Law
                             Navarro County, Texas
                          Trial Court No. C22-30681-CV

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On January 25, 2024, Marcus D’Shun Lewis filed a “Petition for Writ of

Mandamus for Preparation of Court Reporter’s Records,” requesting that this Court

order the court reporter in the underlying case to provide him with a copy of the

reporter’s record. A court of appeals has no jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus

against a court reporter except to protect or enforce its jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV’T CODE

ANN. § 22.221.    We therefore dismiss Lewis’s “Petition for Writ of Mandamus for

Preparation of Court Reporter’s Records” for want of jurisdiction.
