In Re Kailyn Andrews v. the State of Texas

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-25-00935-CV

In re Kailyn Andrews

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator petitions for writ of mandamus directed to a justice court for its orders

dismissing Relator’s suit, awarding attorneys’ fees, and denying vacatur of the dismissal order.

We lack jurisdiction to issue the writ against a justice court unless the writ is necessary to preserve

our jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.221; In re Kottke, No. 03-24-00764-CV, 2024 WL

4885837, at *1 (Tex. App.—Austin Nov. 26, 2024, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.). Relator has not

argued or shown that mandamus is necessary here to preserve our jurisdiction. We thus lack

jurisdiction to issue the writ here. See Kottke, 2024 WL 4885837, at *1. Having reviewed the

petition and the record provided, we dismiss the petition for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App.

P. 52.8(a), (d); Kottke, 2024 WL 4885837, at *1.
