Relator Nathan Ryan Wells’s petition for writ of mandamus, filed on

against a Limestone County district judge. Relator’s petition for writ of
mandamus is dismissed for want of jurisdiction to the extent that it seeks
mandamus relief against a San Jacinto County district judge. The Tenth Court

which is within the Ninth Court of Appeals District, nor does it have
jurisdiction over a San Jacinto County district judge. See TEX. GOV’T CODE
