COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI C EDINBURG
CATHERINE HARRISON, Appellant,
v.
BROOKDALE SENIOR LIVING, INC., Appellee.
On appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1
of Nueces County, Texas.
ORDER TO FILE APPELLANT'S BRIEF
Before Justices Benavides, Perkes, and Longoria
Order Per Curiam
This cause is before the Court on pro se appellant’s first motion for extension of
time to file the brief and second motion for extension of time to file the docketing
statement. Appellant’s brief was due to be filed on November 26, 2014. Appellant is
requesting an additional 45 days to file the brief and docketing statement “to allow
defendant more time to produce the Medical Records of Elizabeth Fink Harrison, plaintiff’s
deceased Mother.” Appellee has filed a response indicating appellant has not provided
a proper basis for seeking an extension, however it is not opposed to a 30 day extension.
The Court, having fully examined and considered appellant's first motion for
extension of time to file the brief and extension to file the docketing statement, is of the
opinion that, in the interest of justice, appellant's motion should be granted with order.
Appellant's first motion for extension of time to file the brief is GRANTED, and appellant’s
second motion for extension of time to file the docketing statement is hereby GRANTED.
Appellant, is hereby ORDERED to file the appellate brief and the docketing statement
with this Court on or before January 12, 2015.
Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 34.1 defines the contents of an appellate
record, limiting them to the clerk’s record and the reporter’s record. TEX. RULE APP. P.
34.1. An appellate court cannot consider documents not in the record and not
considered by the trial court. See Burke v. Ins. Auto Auctions Corp., 169 S.W.3d 771,
775 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2005, pet. denied).
The Court expects this appeal to proceed as per the appellate rules. Appellant is
expected to comply with all applicable deadlines and filings should comply with the Texas
Rules of Appellate Procedure.
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed the
11th day of December, 2014.
