Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-22-00162-CV
IN RE DAVID BARNES, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 330th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-11-11126
ORDER
Before Justices Osborne, Partida-Kipness, and Smith
Before the Court is relator’s March 1, 2022 petition for writ of mandamus in
which he challenges the trial court’s “Order on Substitution of Faith and Liberty’s
Place,” “Order for Supervised Visitation,” and “Temporary Order for Father
Supervised Possession and Access at Faith and Liberty’s Place.” Relator’s petition
fails to mention that this Court already denied his mandamus petition challenging
the trial court’s November 17, 2021 oral ruling. See In re Barnes, No. 05-21-
01042-CV, 2021 WL 5817333, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas Dec. 7, 2021, orig.
proceeding) (finding no abuse of discretion). It appears that the November 17,
2021 oral ruling, which was memorialized in the challenged written orders, set
virtually the same possession schedule that relator complains about here. In
addition to failing to mention this Court’s December 7, 2021 opinion, relator also
has not explained why a different outcome would be warranted here.
Accordingly, pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 52.11, we
ORDER relator to file, by March 24, 2022, a response showing cause why this
Court should not impose sanctions on him for filing a petition that is: (1) clearly
groundless; and (2) grossly misstates or omits an obviously important and material
fact in the petition.
