Delivered and Filed: December 31, 2025

PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE; EMERGENCY
MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RELIEF IS DENIED AS MOOT

Relator filed her petition for writ of mandamus and emergency motion for stay on

December 11, 2025. Rules 52.3 and 52.7 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure require the

relator to file with the petition for writ of mandamus a record that includes a certified or sworn

copy of every document that is material to their claim for relief and that was filed in any underlying

proceeding, including a copy of the order complained of, as well as a properly authenticated

transcript of any relevant testimony or a statement that no testimony was adduced in connection

with the matter complained of. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(k)(1)(B) and 52.7(a). The requirements of

This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2022CI07022, styled In the Interest of D.J.Y., pending in the 150th Judicial

mandamus dictate that the relator provide a sufficient record showing that they are entitled to

mandamus relief. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding); In re

Marty, Inc., No. 04-20-00067-CV, 2020 WL 557076, at *1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio Feb. 5, 2020,

orig. proceeding). We may deny a petition for a writ of mandamus for an inadequate record alone.

See In re Blakeney, 254 S.W.3d 659, 662 (Tex. App. 2008).

Relator has not provided a sufficient record to demonstrate that she is entitled to mandamus

relief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.7(a). Having considered the petition for writ of mandamus,

emergency motion for stay, and the record provided, this court concludes that relator has not

established that she is entitled to the relief sought. The petition for writ of mandamus is DENIED

without prejudice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). The emergency motion for temporary relief is

DENIED AS MOOT.
