SULMA GONZALES, Appellant
V.
THE DALLAS COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT, ET AL., Appellees
On Appeal from the 162nd Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-13-09665
ORDER
Before the Court is pro se appellant’s September 16, 2014 third motion for an extension
of time to file a brief and appellees’ response in opposition. Appellant’s brief was originally due
on July 11, 2014. On July 2, 2014, the Court granted appellant’s first motion for an extension
giving her to August 10, 2014 to file a brief. On August 19, 2014, we granted appellant’s second
motion for an extension and extended the deadline to September 18, 2014. In that order, we
cautioned appellant that failure to file a brief by that date may result in dismissal of the appeal
for want of prosecution.
In her third motion, appellant has informed the Court that she “has not been able to even
begin to work on the brief.” She requests an extension of forty-five to sixty days. We DENY
appellant’s motion.
On the Court’s own motion, we ORDER appellant to file a brief ON OR BEFORE
OCTOBER 13, 2014. We CAUTION appellant that failure to file a brief ON OR BEFORE
OCTOBER 13, 2014 will result in dismissal of her appeal for want of prosecution without
further notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1).
