Panel consists of Justices Spain, Poissant, and Wilson.
ORDER
PER CURIAM
On September 16, 2024, relator Ansel Keymond Pennygraph filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Jaclanel McFarland, presiding judge of the 133rd District Court of Harris County, to rule on "several timely and properly filed motions."
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(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 record or appendix, see Tex.R.App.P. 52.3(k)(1)(A), 52.7(a)(1). Additionally, relator did not include with his petition "a properly authenticated transcript of any relevant testimony from any underlying proceeding, including any exhibits offered in evidence, or a statement that no testimony was adduced in connection with the matter complained." Tex.R.App.P. 52.7(a)(2).
Relator's petition for writ of mandamus will be dismissed unless relator files with the clerk of this court a supplemental and/or amended petition to address the issues identified above on or before October 2, 2024.
