IN RE LAVACE DURELL MORGAN, Relator


Original Proceeding from the 354th Judicial District Court Hunt County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 21838

Before Justices Molberg, Goldstein, and Breedlove

MEMORANDUM OPINION

BONNIE LEE GOLDSTEIN, JUSTICE

Before the Court is relator's July 10, 2023 petition for writ of mandamus wherein relator asks this Court to compel the trial court to rule on a nunc pro tunc motion.

Relator's petition does not comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure in numerous respects. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.1, 52.3(a)-(c), (f)-(h), (j), (k)(1)(A), 52.7(a)(1). Among other defects, the petition is not certified, see TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(j), and the petition is not supported by a sufficient record or appendix, see TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(k)(1)(A), 52.7(a)(1). Thus, relator's petition does not meet the requirements of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure for consideration of mandamus relief. See In re Jones, No. 05-23-00492-CV, No. 05-23-00493-CV, 2023 (Tex. App.-Dallas June 21, 2023, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.); see also In re Salinas, No. 05-23-00544-CV, No. 05-23-00545-CV, 2023 WL 4101439, at *1 (Tex. App.-Dallas June 21, 2023, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.).

Accordingly, we deny relator's petition for writ of mandamus.
