                    In The
              Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana


                  No. 06-18-00207-CR




            IN RE ANDRE RENOR EVANS




             Original Mandamus Proceeding




      Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ.
        Memorandum Opinion by Justice Burgess
                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

        Andre Renor Evans, proceeding pro se, has petitioned this Court for mandamus relief. Evans

asks us to compel the Honorable Ralph Strother, judge of the 19th Judicial District Court, McLennan

County, to rule on his claim of double jeopardy, among other things. 1 This Court has jurisdiction to

issue a writ of mandamus against “a judge of a district, statutory county, statutory probate county, or

county court in the court of appeals district.” TEX. GOV’T CODE § 22.221(b)(1) (West Supp. 2018).

McLennan County, however, is not within the territorial jurisdiction of this Court. 2 TEX. GOV’T CODE

ANN. § 22.201(g). Accordingly, we have no authority to address the merits of the issues raised in

Evans’ petition.




1
 Evans has previously filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court. See In re Evans, No. 06-18-00172-CR,
2018 WL 5259783, at *1 (Tex. App.—Texarkana Oct. 23, 2018, orig. proceeding). In that opinion, we erroneously
named the respondent court as the 194th Judicial District Court of McLennan County. The correct respondent court
in that case—as in this case—is the 19th Judicial District Court of McLennan County. Portions of Evans’ petition for
writ of mandamus appear to take issue with our decision in cause number 06-18-00172-CR, and portions of his petition
appear to take issue with the appeal of his underlying conviction.

 Section 22.201(g) of the Texas Government Code states, “The Sixth Court of Appeals District is composed of the
counties of Bowie, Camp, Cass, Delta, Fannin, Franklin, Gregg, Harrison, Hopkins, Hunt, Lamar, Marion, Morris,
Panola, Red River, Rusk, Titus, Upshur, and Wood.” TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.201(g) (West Supp. 2018).

 This petition for writ of mandamus does not implicate our mandate issued in the underlying appeal. See Evans v.
State, No. 06-16-00064-CR, 2017 WL 1089806 (Tex. App.––Texarkana Mar. 22, 2017, pet. ref’d) (mem. op., not
designated for publication).
