Before Justices Molberg, Reichek, and Smith
MEMORANDUM OPINION
AMANDA L. REICHEK, JUSTICE
Before the Court is relator's July 15, 2021 petition for writ of mandamus. In the petition, relator challenges the trial court's May 20, 2021 order granting real party in interest's second motion to compel documents.
Relator's petition and record are not properly authenticated as required by the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.3(j) (requiring certification of factual statements in petition), 52.3(k) (requiring certified or sworn documents in the appendix); 52.7(a)(1) (requiring certified or sworn copy of record, as well as a properly authenticated transcript or statement that no testimony was adduced); see also In re Butler, 270 S.W.3d 757, 758-59 (Tex. App.-Dallas 2008, orig. proceeding) (denying petition for failing to comply with Rule 52's authentication requirements). Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus without prejudice to refiling a petition that satisfies the requirements of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.
