                                   ____________

                    IN RE CHOUAIB ABERKANE, Relator

                          ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
                          WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
                    On Appeal from the 280th District Court
                            Harris County, Texas
                      Trial Court Cause No. 2022-30820

                                     ORDER

      On December 29, 2022, relator Chouaib Aberkane filed a petition for writ of
habeas corpus 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 vacate as void the December
12, 2022 order revoking suspension and for commitment to county jail.

      The Rules of Appellate procedure require a party, who files a petition for writ
of habeas corpus in in a court of appeals, to include proof that the relator is
restrained. Tex. R. App. P. (k)(1)(D); In re Serrano, 482 S.W.3d 134, 135 (Tex.
App.—El Paso 2015, orig. proceeding).           There is nothing in the record
demonstrating proof that relator is currently confined. See In re Huitrado-Soto, No.
05-16-00515-CV, 2016 WL 2353898, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas May 3, 2016, orig.
proceeding) (mem. op.) (holding trial court’s order, which was stamped “IN JAIL,”
did not provide proof of then present confinement required by Rule 52); In re Miller,
No. 05-14-001023-CV, 2014 WL 3882317, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas Aug. 7, 2014,
orig. proceeding) (mem. op.) (holding that website print out that purported to show
relator’s confinement by Collin County Sheriff’s Department did not provide proof
required by Rule 52).

      We ORDER relator to cure the deficiency in his petition within 10 days of the
date of order. Failure to do so will result in the denial of his petition for writ of
habeas corpus.

                                  PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Christopher and Justices Bourliot and Wilson.
