This Court’s jurisdiction to issue mandamus relief is governed by Texas

Government Code section 22.221, which provides that we may issue mandamus

relief to enforce our jurisdiction or against the judge of a district, statutory court,

statutory probate county, or county court in the court of appeals district. See TEX.

GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(a), (b). Relator requests that we issue a writ of

mandamus against the judge of the 331st District Court of Travis County, Texas.

Travis County is not within the First Court of Appeals District but is within the

Third Court of Appeals District. See id. § 22.201(d). Thus, we lack jurisdiction to

issue a writ of mandamus against a judge of a district court in Travis County.

We dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus for lack of jurisdiction. We

dismiss any pending motions as moot.
