R. APP. P. 52.3 (listing required contents of mandamus petition), 52.7 (relator required to file record with mandamus petition), 52.8; see also Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex. 1992) (relator must provide mandamus record sufficient to establish right to mandamus relief). All pending motions are dismissed as moot.

P. 52. 2 The underlying case is In the Interest of N.S.C. and N.S., Children, Cause No. 19-CP-0155, in the 306th District Court of Galveston County, Texas, the Honorable Anne B. Darring presiding. 2
