DENIED and Opinion Filed December 17, 2024 In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-24-01392-CV IN RE PATRICK WAYNE TUTER, Relator Original Proceeding from the 296th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 296-50864-2022 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Pedersen, III, Smith, and Garcia Opinion by Justice Smith Before the Court is relator’s November 27, 2024 petition for writ of mandamus. Relator’s petition, however, does not comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure in numerous respects. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.1, 52.3(a)–(h), 52.3(j), 52.3(k)(1)(A), 52.7(a). Thus, relator’s petition does not meet the requirements of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure for consideration of mandamus relief. See In re Guillaume, No. 05-24-00765-CV, 2024 WL 3548511, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas July 26, 2024, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.) (denying mandamus relief based on relator’s failure to comply with several Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure). Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. Additionally, based on our review, relator’s petition and its attached appendix contain unredacted sensitive data—such as the name of a minor child—in violation of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.9. Accordingly, we strike relator’s petition and its attached appendix. 241392f.p05 /Craig Smith// CRAIG SMITH JUSTICE –2–
