Original Mandamus Proceeding.
Before MORRISS, C.J., ROSS and CARTER, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Patrick J. Jones has filed a petition for writ of mandamus in which he asks this Court to order the district attorney's office to disclose exculpatory and impeachment evidence. Specifically, he complains that at his trial for sexual assault the State failed to provide evidence about the multiple crimes allegedly committed by the complainant and that the State had information in its possession at that time showing she committed perjury during the trial.
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) (Vernon Supp. 2003). We do not have mandamus jurisdiction over a district attorney's office in this context. Accordingly, we have no authority to consider Jones' petition on its merits.
The petition is denied.
