IN RE MEWBOURNE OIL COMPANY, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
334th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2020-11258
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On October 5, 2020, relator Mewbourne Oil Company filed a petition for
writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.221; see also Tex. R.
App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Steven
Kirkland, presiding judge of the 334th District Court of Harris County, to vacate
his September 16, 2020 order denying relator’s motion to transfer venue.
Relator’s petition does not comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate
Procedure. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.3(k)(1)(A) (providing that appendix must
contain a certified or sworn copy of any order complained of); Tex. R. App. P.
52.7(a) (providing that “Relator must file with petition (1) 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; and (2) a properly authenticated transcript
of any relevant testimony from any underlying proceeding, including any exhibits
offered in evidence, or a statement that no testimony was adduced in connection
with the matter complained.”). Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of
mandamus.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Chief Justices Frost and Justices Wise and Bourliot.
