IN RE SEBRA PROUTT, Relator

Original Proceeding from the 382nd Judicial District Court Rockwall County, Texas

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Pedersen, III, Smith, and Garcia Opinion by Justice Pedersen, III Before the Court is relator’s August 13, 2024 petition for writ of mandamus.

Relator asks this Court to compel the trial court to make findings on her petition

for writ of habeas corpus.

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), (e)–(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 mandamus relief. See 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.
