                                       IN RE Juan MORENO

                                   Original Mandamus Proceeding 1

PER CURIAM

Sitting:          Karen Angelini, Justice

                  Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice

Delivered and Filed: May 8, 2013

PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION

           On April 25, 2013, Relator Juan Moreno filed a petition for writ of mandamus, seeking to

compel the court reporter in Bexar County, Texas to produce a copy of the record in the case.

However, this court does not have jurisdiction to grant the requested relief. By statute, this court

has the authority to issue a writ of mandamus against “a judge of a district or county court in the

court of appeals district” and other writs as necessary to enforce our appellate jurisdiction. See

TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(a)-(b) (West 2004). We conclude the writ is not necessary to

enforce our jurisdiction. Accordingly, relator’s petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for

lack of jurisdiction.
