                  IN RE COMMITMENT OF DON DAVIS JR.

__________________________________________________________________

                On Appeal from the 435th District Court
                      Montgomery County, Texas
                    Trial Cause No. 07-06-06631 CV

                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      In an appeal from an order entered in a sexually-violent-predator proceeding,

we are asked to address whether we possess appellate jurisdiction over an order

changing the entity that approves where Don Davis Jr. is required to reside. We

conclude that the trial court’s order is not appealable, and we also conclude that

mandamus relief on the issues Davis raises is not warranted. Accordingly, we

dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

      Recently, in In re Commitment of Cortez, we addressed the same issues as

set forth in Davis’s brief and concluded that we did not have appellate jurisdiction

                                           1
over his issues. No. 09-12-00385-CV, 2013 WL 3270613, at *2 (Tex. App.—

Beaumont June 27, 2013, no pet. h.). We also considered whether Cortez raised

issues entitling him to mandamus relief. See id. at **2-6.

      For the same reasons stated in Cortez, we conclude that we lack appellate

jurisdiction to review the trial court’s order dated July 26, 2012, and that Davis has

not demonstrated that he should receive mandamus relief. Accordingly, we dismiss

Davis’s appeal.

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
