Court of Appeals of Texas, Austin.

IN RE: Gerald Anthony Wright

NO. 03-10-00314-CV

Decided: June 24, 2010

Before Chief Justice Jones, Justices Pemberton and Waldrop

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

Gerald Anthony Wright has petitioned the Court for a writ of mandamus directing the board of pardons and paroles to release him to mandatory supervision. The Court is authorized to issue all writs of mandamus against a judge of a district or county court in its district, but the Court's mandamus authority is otherwise limited to the enforcement of its jurisdiction. Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004). Wright's claim against the parole board does not implicate the Court's jurisdiction. The petition for writ of mandamus is denied.

J. Woodfin Jones, Chief Justice
