In Re Veronica Renee Youngblood v. the State of Texas

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-25-00998-CV

In re Veronica Renee Youngblood

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM BELL COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION

In this suit affecting the parent–child relationship (SAPCR), relator Veronica

Renee Youngblood has filed a petition for writ of mandamus seeking relief from orders the trial

court purportedly rendered without jurisdiction.1 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); 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) (providing that

mandamus record must contain, among other things, certified or sworn copy of every document

that is material to relator’s claim and that was filed in underlying proceeding).

1
Youngblood contends that the trial court rendered “modifications” and other SAPCR
orders “affecting conservatorship, possession, and enforcement” without jurisdiction to do so
because a different trial court had continuing exclusive jurisdiction over the SAPCR under the
Family Code.
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).
