IN RE: Ruben Guerrero (2012)

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

Ruben Guerrero, an inmate in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, has filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus asking this Court to compel the court reporter for the 390th district court in Travis County to prepare a reporter's record in trial court cause number D–1–DC–06–202366, in which he was convicted of the offense of driving while intoxicated, for the purpose of filing a federal application for writ of habeas corpus.

This Court's mandamus jurisdiction is governed by section 22.221 of the Texas Government Code. Section 22.221 expressly limits our mandamus jurisdiction to:  (1) writs against a district court judge or county court judge in this Court's district, and (2) all writs necessary to enforce this Court's jurisdiction.  Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004).   The issuance of a writ against the court reporter in this case is not necessary to enforce this Court's jurisdiction.   Accordingly, we deny Guerrero's petition for writ of mandamus.

Bob Pemberton, Justice
