DENY; and Opinion Filed November 20, 2018.

                                              In The
                                Court of Appeals
                         Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
                                      No. 05-18-01349-CV

                           IN RE JANINE CHARBONEAU, Relator

                 Original Proceeding from the 366th Judicial District Court
                                   Collin County, Texas
                           Trial Court Cause No. 366-04514-2017

                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
                          Before Justices Bridges, Brown, and Boatright
                                    Opinion by Justice Brown
       In this original proceeding, relator seeks a writ of mandamus directing the trial court to

grant relator’s motion to dismiss the underlying Rule 736 expedited foreclosure action. To be

entitled to mandamus relief, a relator must show both that the trial court has clearly abused its

discretion and that relator has no adequate appellate remedy. In re Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d
124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding). As the party seeking relief, the relator has the burden

of providing the Court with a sufficient mandamus record to establish his right to mandamus relief.

Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding). Rules 52.3 and 52.7

require the relator to provide “a certified or sworn copy” of certain documents, including any order

complained of, any other document showing the matter complained of, and every document that

is material to the relator’s claim for relief that was filed in any underlying proceeding. TEX. R.

APP. P. 52.3(k)(1)(A), 52.7(a)(1).
        Here, relator has failed to provide the record required by Rules 52.3 and 52.7 and has,

therefore, not shown she is entitled to the relief requested. Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition

for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a) (the court must deny the petition if the court

determines relator is not entitled to the relief sought).
