In Re: Stansly Maponga & Christina Maponga v. the State of Texas

DENIED and Opinion Filed August 27, 2024

In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-24-00997-CV

IN RE STANSLY MAPONGA & CHRISTINA MAPONGA, Relators

Original Proceeding from the County Court at Law No. 2
Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 002-03818-2023

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Pedersen, III, Smith, and Garcia
Opinion by Justice Pedersen, III
Before the Court is relators’ August 21, 2024 petition for writ of mandamus.

Relators, who are proceeding pro se, ask this Court to compel the trial court to order

real party in interest to return relators’ exempt personal property.

Relators’ petition does not comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate

Procedure in numerous respects. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(a)–(d)(2), (g)–(h), (j),

(k)(1)(A); 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

mandamus 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.
