In Re Marcus D'Shun Lewis v. the State of Texas

IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-24-00022-CV

IN RE MARCUS D'SHUN LEWIS

Original Proceeding

From the County Court at Law
Navarro County, Texas
Trial Court No. C22-30681-CV

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On January 25, 2024, Marcus D’Shun Lewis filed a “Petition for Writ of

Mandamus for Preparation of Court Reporter’s Records,” requesting that this Court

order the court reporter in the underlying case to provide him with a copy of the

reporter’s record. A court of appeals has no jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus

against a court reporter except to protect or enforce its jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV’T CODE

ANN. § 22.221. We therefore dismiss Lewis’s “Petition for Writ of Mandamus for

Preparation of Court Reporter’s Records” for want of jurisdiction.
