MEMORANDUM OPINION


On April 9, 2010, relator Ruben Vasquez filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus, apparently seeking relief from an order holding him in contempt for failure to pay child support arrearages and attorney's fees related thereto. Vasquez filed supplements to his petition on April 12, 2010, and April 13, 2010. We have reviewed the documents filed by relator and are unable to determine the grounds upon which he seeks relief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(h) (petition must contain clear and concise argument for contentions made, with appropriate citations to authorities and to appendix or record). Moreover, relator has not provided this Court with a single document in support of his petition. A relator has the burden of providing this court with a record sufficient to establish a right to relief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.7(a) (requiring relator to file with petition a certified or sworn copy of every document material to relator's claim for relief and that was filed in any underlying proceeding); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(k)(1)(A), (D). Based on the foregoing, we conclude relator has not shown himself entitled to relief. Accordingly, the petition for writ of habeas corpus is denied. TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
