Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-16-01036-CV
IN RE: DERIC VALDEZ, Relator
On Appeal from the 330th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-11-07033
ORDER
Upon review of the August 30, 2016 petition for writ of mandamus, it appears the
appendix and reporter’s record supporting the petition include unredacted information that
identifies the relator’s minor child. TEX. R. APP. P. 9.9(a). It further appears the petition does
not comply with the requirements of rule 52 in that the documents included in the appendix are
neither sworn nor certified copies. TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(k); 52.7(a)(1). In addition, the petition
does not include the certification required by Rule 52.3(j), does not include the certificate of
compliance required by Rule 9.4(i)(3), and is not in 14-point font as required by Rule 9.4(e).
TEX. R. APP. P. 9.4(e), 9.4(i)(3), 52.3(j).
Accordingly, we STRIKE the petition and supporting appendix. TEX. R. APP. P. 9.9(b).
We grant relator leave to file a redrawn petition that complies with Rules 9.4, 9.9, and 52 of the
Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure on or before September 8, 2016. We caution relator that
1
failure to file a properly drawn petition as permitted by this order may result in the dismissal of
this cause without further notice.
