DENIED and Opinion Filed July 14, 2023

                                    S  In The
                            Court of Appeals
                     Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
                               No. 05-23-00672-CV

                IN RE LAVACE DURELL MORGAN, Relator

          Original Proceeding from the 354th Judicial District Court
                            Hunt County, Texas
                        Trial Court Cause No. 21838

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
                Before Justices Molberg, Goldstein, and Breedlove
                           Opinion by Justice Goldstein
      Before the Court is relator’s July 10, 2023 petition for writ of mandamus

wherein relator asks this Court to compel the trial court to rule on a nunc pro tunc

motion.

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

Procedure in numerous respects. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.1, 52.3(a)–(c), (f)–(h), (j),

(k)(1)(A), 52.7(a)(1). Among other defects, the petition is not certified, see TEX. R.

APP. P. 52.3(j), and the petition is not supported by a sufficient record or appendix,

see TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(k)(1)(A), 52.7(a)(1). Thus, relator’s petition does not meet

the requirements of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure for consideration of

mandamus relief. See In re Jones, No. 05-23-00492-CV, No. 05-23-00493-CV, 2023
WL 4101440, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas June 21, 2023, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.);

see also In re Salinas, No. 05-23-00544-CV, No. 05-23-00545-CV, 2023 WL

4101439, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas June 21, 2023, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.).

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