IN RE: JAMAL TERRELL BOWENS
Original Mandamus Proceeding Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss MEMORANDUM OPINION
Jamal Terrell Bowens has filed a petition for writ of mandamus in which he asks this Court to issue an order against the judge of the Second Judicial District Court of Cherokee County, Texas. 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) (West 2004). Cherokee County, however, is not within the territorial jurisdiction of this Court. TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 22.201(g) (West Supp. 2014). Accordingly, we have no authority to address the merits of the issues raised in this petition.
We deny the petition for writ of mandamus.
