Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas

IN RE KEITH BALDEO, Relator

Original Proceeding from the 301st Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-23-11243

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Molberg, Carlyle, and Breedlove
Opinion by Justice Carlyle
Before the Court is relator’s June 7, 2024 petition for writ of mandamus. Upon

review, relator’s petition does not meet the requirements of the Texas Rules of

Appellate Procedure for consideration of mandamus relief. See In re Backusy,

No. 05-23-00674-CV, 2023 WL 4540278, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas July 14, 2023,

orig. proceeding) (mem. op.); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(a) (requiring complete

list of all parties including the person against whom relief is sought), 52.3(c)

(requiring index of authorities arranged alphabetically and indicating the pages of

the petition where the authorities are cited), 52.3(d) (requiring a statement of the

case), 52.3(g) (requiring statement of facts supported by citations to an appendix or
record), 52.3(h) (requiring clear and concise argument with appropriate citations to

authorities and to the appendix or record), 52.3(i) (requiring a short conclusion that

clearly states the nature of the relief sought), 52.3(k)(1)(A) (requiring “a certified or

sworn copy of any order complained of, or any other document showing the matter

complained of”), 52.7(a)(1) (requiring “a certified or sworn copy of every document

that is material to the relator’s claim for relief and that was filed in any underlying

proceeding”); In re Fears, No. 05-24-00154-CV, 2024 WL 748077, at *1 (Tex.

App.—Dallas Feb. 23, 2024, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.) (explaining how a relator

may obtain certified or sworn copies of documents).

Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.
