     IN RE JOHN ANTHONY CASTRO, Relator

                   Original Proceeding
Justice of the Peace, Precinct 7 of Tarrant County, Texas
          Trial Court No. JP07-22-DC00029121

        Before Bassel, Womack and Wallach, JJ.
          Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion
                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Relator has filed a petition for writ of mandamus regarding the actions of a

justice of the peace. We lack mandamus jurisdiction over a justice of the peace. See

Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221(b)–(c); see also In re Euristhe, No. 02-23-00360-CV,

2023 WL 6442934, at *1 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth Oct. 3, 2023, orig. proceeding) (per

curiam) (mem. op.) (dismissing mandamus petition for lack of jurisdiction over justice

of the peace); In re Garcia, No. 13-18-00651-CV, 2018 WL 6219254, at *2 (Tex.

App.—Corpus Christi–Edinburg Nov. 28, 2018, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.) (“This

Court does not have jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a justice of the

peace.”). Accordingly, we dismiss relator’s petition for want of jurisdiction.

                                                       Per Curiam
