DENIED and Opinion Filed July 14, 2023

                                    S   In The
                             Court of Appeals
                      Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
                                No. 05-23-00674-CV

                        IN RE EMMY BACKUSY, Relator

                                Original Proceeding
                                Dallas County, Texas

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

Relator asks this Court to compel “the District Clerk or his Deputies” to docket

relator’s petition for dissolution of marriage, contending he filed the petition with

the 256th Family Court of Dallas County, Texas in November 2022.

      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), (d)(1)–(3),

(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 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.

       Additionally, relator’s petition contains unredacted sensitive data, including a

minor’s full name, in violation of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See TEX.

R. APP. P. 9.10(a)(3), (b); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 9.9(a)(3), (b). Accordingly, we

strike relator’s petition.
