TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-26-00018-CV

In re Ishmael Jackson

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION

In this original proceeding, relator Ishmael Jackson seeks relief from enforcement

orders the trial court allegedly entered without authority. A party seeking mandamus relief has

the burden of providing this Court with a sufficient record to establish his right to such relief.

See Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex. 1992); 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 appendix and record do 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). __________________________________________ Maggie Ellis, Justice
