TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                       NO. 03-23-00338-CV

                                       In re Jeffery D. Tolson

                 ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM WILLIAMSON COUNTY

                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Relator Jeffrey D. Tolson has filed a petition for writ of mandamus complaining

of the district court’s alleged failure to comply with Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 18a,

concerning the recusal and disqualification of judges. A relator seeking mandamus relief has the

burden of providing the Court with a sufficient record to establish the right to relief. Walker v.

Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex. 1992). By rule, the relator must file with the petition

“a certified or sworn copy of every document that is material to the relator's claim for relief

and that was filed in any underlying proceeding.” Tex. R. App. P. 52.7(a)(1). Here, Mr. Tolson

has provided no sworn record or exhibits in support of his submission. Accordingly, the petition

is denied. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8.
