Court of Appeals

IN RE RASHAD WHITE AND SEBRA PROUTT, Relators

Original Proceeding from the County Court at Law No. 1
Rockwall County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1-24-1007

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Pedersen, III, Smith, and Garcia
Opinion by Justice Pedersen, III
Before the Court is relators’ August 30, 2024 petition for writ of habeas

corpus. Relators make various complaints about a trial court proceeding culminating

in purported orders dated July 1, 2024, and August 1, 2024, granting temporary

managing conservatorship of relators’ children to the Texas Department of Family

and Protective Services. Relators seek the return of their children, contending that

they have a superior right to possession of their children pursuant to a purported

2020 order.

Relators’ 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)–
(k); TEX. R. APP. P. 52.7(a). Thus, relators’ petition does not meet the requirements

of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure for consideration of a writ of habeas

corpus or other extraordinary 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 relators’ petition.

Additionally, based on our review, relators’ petition contains unredacted

sensitive data, including a minor’s full name, in violation of Texas Rule of Appellate

Procedure 9.9. See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.9. Accordingly, we also strike relators’ petition.
