Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice
Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice

PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION

Relator, Manuel Montout, filed his petition for writ of mandamus on February 26, 2026.

Montout asserts jurisdiction under Section 552.321 of the Texas Government Code. That section

does not confer jurisdiction to the intermediary courts of appeals. See Tex. Gov’t Code §

552.321(b). We do not have jurisdiction to consider this petition for writ of mandamus. The

petition is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
