                                                      MEMORANDUM
OPINION
 
            Calvin Yarbrough has filed a
document with this Court that we deem to be a request for relief through a
petition for writ of mandamus.   He has
no pending appeal, but asks us to order the Harrison County District Clerk to
produce and provide him with a complete certified transcription of the grand
jury minutes, presumably from the cause underlying his 2005 conviction for
aggravated assault. 
            This Court has jurisdiction to
issue a writ of mandamus against “a judge of a district or county court in the
court of appeals district.”  Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221(b)
(Vernon 2004).   In this context, the
relief sought by Yarbrough against a district clerk is not within the
jurisdictional authority of this Court.
            We deny the petition for writ of mandamus.
