IN RE Denise MCVEA

Original Proceeding 1

PER CURIAM

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

Delivered and Filed: March 25, 2026

DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION

Relator, Denise McVea, filed her petition for writ of mandamus on March 9, 2026. McVea

has named multiple municipal and county officers and departments as respondents. She invokes

jurisdiction under Section 24.011 of the Texas Government Code, Article V, Section 8 of the Texas

Constitution, and Article 1.05 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. None of these provisions

convey original jurisdiction to the intermediate courts of appeals over the identified respondents.

The petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
