In re J & R Multifamily Group Ltd.

Summary

The Texas Court of Appeals for the First District denied J&R Multifamily Group Ltd.'s petition for a writ of mandamus without prejudice. The court held that the petition failed to comply with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 52.3 and 52.7 because it lacked an adequate appendix and record, and it dismissed pending motions as moot.

Holdings

1. A relator seeking mandamus relief must comply with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 52.3(k) and 52.7 by providing an adequate appendix and record containing certified or sworn copies of material documents; absent that submission, the appellate court cannot evaluate the merits of the petition.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the court could evaluate and grant J & R's petition for writ of mandamus when the petition did not include the appendix and record required by the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.
