In Re Cassandra Leyva v. the State of Texas

Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-26-00432-CV

In re Cassandra Leyva

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM HAYS COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION

In this original proceeding, relator Cassandra Leyva seeks relief from the trial court’s temporary restraining order and show-cause order. A party seeking mandamus relief has the burden of providing this Court with a sufficient record to establish her right to such relief. See Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding); see Tex. R. App. P. 52.3(k)(1)(A) (requiring appendix to petition for writ of mandamus to include certified or sworn copy of order complained of and other documents showing matter complained of); 52.7(a)(2) (requiring relator to file with petition “a properly authenticated transcript of any relevant testimony from any underlying proceeding, including any exhibits offered in evidence, or a statement that no testimony was adduced in connection with the matter complained of”).

The mandamus record does not meet the requirements of Rules 52.3 and 52.7;

therefore, this Court lacks a record sufficient to assess the right to mandamus relief. We accordingly deny relief. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a). We dismiss relator’s emergency motion to stay as moot.
