S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-24-00948-CV

IN RE DONILYSSA NICOLE DOMINGUEZ, Relator

Original Proceeding from the 470th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 470-52816-2024

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Pedersen, III, Smith, and Garcia Opinion by Justice Smith

Before the Court is relator’s August 13, 2024 “Petition for Writ of Prohibition

and Mandamus.” Relator challenges temporary orders purportedly issued on July 19,

2024, contesting the trial court’s jurisdiction over issues relating to medical

decisions concerning relator’s child.

Relator’s petition does not comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate

Procedure in numerous respects. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.1; TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(a)–

(d)(3), (f)–(h), (j), (k)(1)(A); TEX. R. APP. P. 52.7(a). Thus, relator’s petition does

not meet the requirements of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure for

consideration of the requested relief. See In re Medhanealem Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church, No. 05-24-00638-CV, 2024 WL 2717721, at *1 (Tex. App.—

Dallas May 28, 2024, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.) (“A petition for writ of

prohibition must comply with rule 52 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.”);

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 relator’s petition.
