MEMORANDUM OPINION

On March 30, 2026, we received a petition for a writ of mandamus from Mario

Lavell Cockerham. Upon receiving the petition, the Clerk of the Court notified the

parties of specific procedural deficiencies in the mandamus petition and directed

Cockerham to file a compliant petition by April 14, 2026. As of today, Cockerham

has not complied with the notice issued by the appellate clerk. Accordingly, we

dismiss the petition for want of prosecution without ruling on the merits of Relator’s

petition and without prejudice to Relator’s filing a new original proceeding that

1 complies with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See generally Tex. R. App.

P. 9.4, 9.5, 52.3.

PETITION DISMISSED.
