Appeal from JUSTICE OF PEACE, PRECINCT 7 of Callahan County

Original Proceedings on Petitions for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

By petition for writ of injunction, relator, George Johnson, challenges the Justice of the Peace Court's (1) denial of his motion to dismiss. We have no general writ power over a justice of the peace. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221(b) (Vernon 2004); Easton v. Franks, 842 S.W.2d 772, 773-74 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] 1992, no writ).

We dismiss the petition for injunctive relief for want of jurisdiction.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Taft, Nuchia, and Higley.
