DENIED and Opinion Filed June 12, 2024
S In the
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-24-00684-CV
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.
