        MEMORANDUM OPINION ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

       Relator, Javier Flores, Jr., seeks a writ of mandamus to compel the El Paso County

Sheriff “to immediate [sic] release the relator for [sic] custody with sufficient authority by the

issuance of said mandate.”

       This Court does not have the authority to issue a writ of mandamus the Respondent in

this case. See TEX .GOV ’T CODE ANN . § 22.221(b)(Vernon 2004). Therefore, mandamus relief is

denied. We therefore deny Relator’s request.
