IN RE VSDH VAQUERO VENTURE, LTD., Relator
Deny and Opinion Filed July 21, 2014
On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. CC-09-05232-A
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices FitzGerald, Francis, and Lewis
Opinion by Justice Francis
Relator filed this petition for writ of mandamus complaining of the trial court's oral order regarding participation of its lead counsel in trial and of the failure of the trial court to grant a continuance in light of its oral order. The rules of appellate procedure require the statement that the person filing a petition for writ of mandamus "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). Relator's petition does not include such a certification. Thus, relator's petition fails to comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See In re Butler, 270 S.W.3d 757, 758-59 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2008, orig. proceeding) (denying petition for writ of mandamus because petition and record not authenticated as required by the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure). We DENY the petition for writ of mandamus. 140875F.P05
