In Re Jordan Alyousef v. the State of Texas ( 2024 )

DENIED and Opinion Filed July 10, 2024
S In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-24-00799-CV
IN RE JORDAN ALYOUSEF, Relator
Original Proceeding from the County Court at Law No. 2
Grayson County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2019-376P
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Partida-Kipness, Nowell, and Miskel
Opinion by Justice Miskel
Before the Court is relator’s July 3, 2024 petition for writ of mandamus
challenging (1) the trial court’s purported order approving a claim from the
administrator and (2) the trial court’s purported failure to remove the administrator.
Upon review, relator’s petition does not meet the requirements of the Texas Rules
of Appellate Procedure for consideration of mandamus relief. See In re Backusy,
No. 05-23-00674-CV, 2023 WL 4540278, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas July 14, 2023,
orig. proceeding) (mem. op.); TEX. R. APP. P. 52.1, 52.3(g), 52.3(j)–(k), 52.7(a). For
example, relator failed to file with the petition an appendix or record containing
documents showing the matter complained of and any other documents material to
his claim for relief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(k)(1)(A), 52.7(a)(1); In re Skinner, No.
05-23-00930-CV, 2023 WL 6618295, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas Oct. 11, 2023, orig.
proceeding) (mem. op.) (explaining that it is relator’s burden to provide the Court
with a sufficient record to show entitlement to mandamus relief). Additionally,
relator omitted the rule 52.3(j) certification required for consideration of mandamus
relief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(j); In re Stewart, No. 05-19-01338-CV, 2020 WL
401764, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas Jan. 24, 2020, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.)
(explaining that our precedent requires “exceptionally strict compliance” with rule
52.3(j)).
Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.
