*1 TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN ON MOTION FOR REHEARING NO. 03-17-00416-CV

In re Todd Warren Altschul ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

We withdraw our opinion of June 30, 2017, and substitute the following opinion in its place. Relator’s motion for rehearing is denied.

Relator Todd Warren Altschul filed a petition for writ of mandamus on June 22, 2017 directed to Travis County District Clerk Velva L. Price. On June 28, 2017, as our prior opinion was processing, Altschul filed a supplement to his mandamus petition. The prior opinion dismissed [1] Altschul’s petition because we lack jurisdiction to issue mandamus against the district clerk. Altschul’s supplemental petition added a request for a writ of mandamus directed to “the [unnamed] district judge of Travis Co., Tx.” On rehearing, Altschul acknowledges that we may issue writs of mandamus only against a district judge or county judge sitting in our district, or to enforce our jurisdiction; thus, he re-focuses his request for mandamus relief to “a district judge in Travis Co., *2 Tx.” See Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.221; In re Simpson , 997 S.W.2d 939, 939 (Tex. App.—Waco 1999, orig. proceeding); In re Strickhausen , 994 S.W.2d 936, 936 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, orig. proceeding); In re Coronado , 980 S.W.2d 691, 692-93 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1998, orig. proceeding).

Because Altschul has failed to demonstrate his entitlement to mandamus relief, his petition for writ of mandamus and its supplement are denied. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.3, 52.8(a).

[1] Relator’s motion for rehearing complains that his “Supplement to Petition for Writ of Mandamus” was not considered before our opinion issued. The supplement was not immediately posted because of the Texas Courts’ internal computer system outage on June 28, 2017. We consider the supplement on rehearing.
