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.). /Craig Smith/ CRAIG SMITH JUSTICE 221033F.P05 –2–
