IN RE FAF HOLDING COMPANY, L.L.C., Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 240th District Court Fort Bend County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 18-DCV-256411

ORDER

On January 14, 2022, relator FAF Holding Company, L.L.C. 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 Frank J. Fraley, presiding judge of the 240th District Court in Harris County, Texas, to set aside his June 18, 2020 order of abatement and his September 17, 2020 order denying severance.

Relator’s petition does not comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See Tex. R. App. 52.3(k) (providing that appendix must contain certified or sworn copy of any order complained of, or any other document showing matter complained of); 52.7(a)(1) (requiring relator to file with petition certified or sworn copy of every document that is material to relator’s claim for relief and that was filed in any underlying proceeding). By this order, the court gives relator ten days’ notice that the petition will be dismissed for failure to comply with Rules 52.3(k) and 52.7(a)(1) unless the deficiencies are cured. See generally Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c).
