in Re Wendi Mae Davidson ( 2020 )

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-20-00143-CV
In re Wendi Mae Davidson
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TOM GREEN COUNTY
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator Wendi Mae Davidson filed a petition for writ of mandamus, requesting
that this Court compel the district clerk to provide her with a copy of the clerk’s record and
reporter’s record for her appeal. 1 By statute, this Court has no authority to issue a writ of
mandamus against a district clerk unless required to enforce our jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov’t
Code § 22.221. Because Davidson does not seek a writ of mandamus to enforce our jurisdiction,
we dismiss her petition for writ of mandamus for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P.
52.8(a).
