IN RE RICHARD JIMENEZ, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS
61st District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2019-04715
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On June 3, 2020, relator Richard Jimenez filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov't. Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In his petition, relator requests that this court compel the Honorable Fredericka Phillips, presiding judge of the 61st District Court, to vacate her order granting the real-party-in-interest's motion for protective order and denying relator's motion to compel.
We deny the petition for writ of mandamus. Relator has failed to include with his petition a certification that he has reviewed the petition and concluded that every factual statement is supported by competent evidence included in the appendix or record. Tex. R. App. P. 52.3(j); In re Butler, 270 S.W.3d 757, 758 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2008, orig. proceeding) (stating "the relator must comply with the current requirement of rule 52.3(j) by certifying the factual statements contained in the petition are supported by competent evidence included in the appendix or record. The relators have not done this, and, thus, their certification does not meet the requirements of rule 52.3(j).").
Realtor has also failed to include certified or sworn copies of documents showing the matters of which he complains in the record. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.3(k)(1)(A); Tex. R. App. P. 52.7(a).
Accordingly, we deny relator's petition for writ of mandamus.
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Wise, Bourliot, and Spain.
