IN RE CREST ENERGY, INC. and EDWIN P. HORAN, III, Relators

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

On March 27, 2003, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court. See Tex. Gov=t. Code Ann. ' 22.221 (Vernon Supp. 2003); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. Relator also filed a motion for emergency stay.

A party seeking mandamus relief must generally bring forward all that is necessary to establish the claim for relief. Tex .R. App. P. 52.7. This includes providing an adequate record to substantiate the allegations contained in the petition for mandamus. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex.1992). Without a sufficient record, a party seeking mandamus relief has not proved any entitlement to the writ. Id.; Tex. R. App. P. 52.7(a)(2).

Because relator has not provided a sufficient record to prove its entitlement to relief, we deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus and motion for emergency stay.

PER CURIAM

Petition Denied and Opinion filed March 27, 2003.

Panel consists of Justices Anderson, Seymore, and Guzman.
