           On May 29, 2012, Relator Timothy N. Middleton filed a petition for writ of mandamus,

seeking to compel the district clerk of Bandera County, Texas, to produce a criminal complaint

and the attached jurat. However, this court does not have jurisdiction to grant the requested

216th Judicial District Court, Bandera County, Texas, the Honorable N. Keith Williams presiding.

conclude the writ is not necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. Accordingly, Relator’s petition for

writ of mandamus is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
