In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-22-00833-CV IN RE D.S.W., Relator ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 247th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2018-88778 MEMORANDUM OPINION On November 10, 2022, relator D.S.W. filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Janice Berg, presiding judge of the 247th District Court of Harris County, to vacate her August 1, 2019 order granting a default judgment against relator or, alternatively, rule on relator’s bill of review. On November 22, 2022, we sent relator notice that his petition did not comply with the applicable Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.3(k)(1)(A), 52.7(a)(1); see also Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 132.001(e). On December 2, 2022, relator filed an amended petition. Relator has not cured all defects in his petition. Specifically, relator has not provided a copy of the August 1, 2019 order granting a default judgment against relator. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.3(k)(1)(A) (providing that appendix must contain certified or sworn copy of any order complained of, or any other document showing the document complained of). Accordingly, we dismiss relator’s amended petition for writ of mandamus and dismiss his motion to proceed in forma pauperis as moot. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Wise, Spain, and Hassan. 2
