No Record, Still No Mandamus Relief

The petitioners in In re Redbird Trails Apts, having been rebuffed once before due to problems with presenting a set of in camera documents to the court of appeals, encountered yet more problems on a second try:

In their re-filed petition, relators inform us that the trial court has destroyed the copy of the records it had inspected, but DFPS has printed out another copy of its records for the trial court. Relators thus advise us that they have a pending request for the trial court to forward that printout under seal.

Based on the particular circumstances here, we conclude that even if the trial court were to forward that printout to us, relators have not met their burden of showing that the documents tendered to this Court in camera are the same documents relators tendered to the trial court.

No. 05-23-00379-CV (April 27, 2023) (mem. op.).
