DENY and Opinion Filed November 8, 2022
S In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-22-01033-CV
IN RE VENKY VENKATRAMAN, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 256th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-04-11968
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Burns and Justices Partida-Kipness and Smith
Opinion by Justice Smith
In this original proceeding, relator seeks a writ of mandamus compelling the
trial court to vacate its order for alternate service substituted service and its order to
reappear. To obtain mandamus relief, relator must show the trial court clearly
abused its discretion and that he lacks an adequate appellate remedy. In re Copart,
Inc., 619 S.W.3d 710, 713 (Tex. 2021) (orig. proceeding) (citing In re Prudential
Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d 124, 135–36 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding)). After reviewing
relator’s petition, his supplemental filing, and the record, we conclude relator has
failed to show he is entitled to the relief requested. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition on the merits.
Further, relator’s appendices contain unredacted sensitive information,
including the full name and date of birth of a person who was a minor at the time the
underlying suit was filed, in violation of Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.9. See
TEX. R. APP. P. 9.9. Accordingly, we STRIKE relator’s petition, supplement, and
attached appendices. See In re Lopez, Nos. 05-22-00710-CV, 05-22-00711-CV,
2022 WL 3151976 * 1 (Tex. App.—Dallas Aug. 8, 2022, orig. proceeding) (mem.
op.).
