in Re: Michael Stout ( 2014 )

Dismissed and Opinion Filed January 6, 2014.
S In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-13-01678-CV
IN RE MICHAEL STOUT, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 283rd Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F91072544-T
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Moseley, Fillmore, and Brown
Opinion by Justice Moseley
Before the Court is relator’s petition for writ of mandamus naming the Texas Department
of Criminal Justice as respondent. The facts and issues are well known to the parties, so we need
not recount them herein. This Court does not have mandamus jurisdiction over the Texas
Department of Criminal Justice. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004).
Accordingly, we DISMISS relator’s petition for a writ of mandamus for want of jurisdiction.
