IN RE JORDAN ALYOUSEF, Relator

Original Proceeding from the County Court at Law No. 2 Grayson County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 2019-376P

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Partida-Kipness, Nowell, and Miskel Opinion by Justice Miskel Before the Court is relator’s July 3, 2024 petition for writ of mandamus

challenging (1) the trial court’s purported order approving a claim from the administrator and (2) the trial court’s purported failure to remove the administrator. Upon review, relator’s petition does not meet the requirements of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure for consideration of mandamus relief. See In re Backusy, No. 05-23-00674-CV, 2023 WL 4540278, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas July 14, 2023, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.); TEX. R. APP. P. 52.1, 52.3(g), 52.3(j)–(k), 52.7(a). For example, relator failed to file with the petition an appendix or record containing documents showing the matter complained of and any other documents material to

his claim for relief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(k)(1)(A), 52.7(a)(1); In re Skinner, No. 05-23-00930-CV, 2023 WL 6618295, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas Oct. 11, 2023, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.) (explaining that it is relator’s burden to provide the Court with a sufficient record to show entitlement to mandamus relief). Additionally, relator omitted the rule 52.3(j) certification required for consideration of mandamus relief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(j); In re Stewart, No. 05-19-01338-CV, 2020 WL 401764, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas Jan. 24, 2020, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.) (explaining that our precedent requires “exceptionally strict compliance” with rule 52.3(j)).

Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.
