MEMORANDUM OPINION
On December 19, 2005, the Court issued an order that stated in part as follows:
Because appellant has consistently failed to comply with the requirements of the rules of appellate procedure, the orders of this Court, and the notices of the clerk, this appeal will be dismissed unless, within 10 days from the date of this order, appellant files a motion to retain this appeal on the docket, with a reasonable explanation of appellant’s consistent failure to comply with the rules, order, and notices. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
Appellant has not filed a reasonable explanation of her failure to comply with the referenced rules, orders, and notices. Instead of an explanation, she has asked for additional time to research our order. She has not paid a filing fee for this request for additional time, and the request does not have a certificate of service or a certificate of conference. See Bielamowicz v. Cedar Hill Indep. Sch. Dist., 136 S.W.3d 718, 719 n.1 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2004, pet. denied) (pro se litigants held to same standards as licensed attorneys and must comply with all applicable rules of procedure).
Accordingly, for the reasons set forth in the order of December 19, 2005, the appeal is dismissed.
PER CURIAMPanel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Nuchia and Higley.
