PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED
On April 3, 2014, relator Kevin Lee Gonzales filed a petition for writ of mandamus complaining of the trial court's order transferring the underlying divorce proceeding to Louisiana. Relator also filed a motion for emergency temporary relief pending a ruling on the mandamus petition asking this court to stay the proceedings below and to halt the transfer ordered by the trial court on March 19, 2014.
The court has considered the petition for writ of mandamus and is of the opinion that relator is not entitled to the relief sought. Relator has the burden of providing this court with a record sufficient to establish his right to mandamus relief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(e), 52.7(a); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding). Based upon the record provided, this court is unable to determine its jurisdiction to consider the mandamus petition and relator's right to relief. See TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 155.204(g) (West 2014) (requiring proceeding to be transferred not later than the 21st day after the hearing in which the trial court determines that grounds for transfer exist); 155.005(b) (West 2014) (providing that jurisdiction of the transferring court terminates upon docketing of the case in the receiving court).
Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus and the motion for emergency temporary relief are denied. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
