See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3 (form and contents of petition); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 52.7 (record). The notice further informed Relator that his petition would be referred to the court for dismissal unless he provided an amended petition and the record on or before April 19. On April 22, Relator filed a letter requesting that we withdraw his petition for writ of mandamus so that he may properly format the petition and re-submit the petition at a later date. We construe the letter as a motion to dismiss this original proceeding. Accordingly, we grant Relator’s motion to dismiss, and we dismiss his petition for writ of mandamus.
