Thomas Ray Sides v. William Stephens, Director T.D.C.J.-I.D.

IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS No. 10-15-00104-CV THOMAS RAY SIDES, Appellant v. WILLIAM STEPHENS, DIRECTOR T.D.C.J.-I.D., Appellee From Coryell County, Texas ORDER Thomas Ray Sides’s appeal was dismissed for want of jurisdiction on April 2, 2015. He has since filed a “Motion to Suspend Rule 9.5 ‘Tex. Rules App. Pro. 9.5’ Copy Rule”1 and a motion for an extension of time to an application to proceed “in forma pauperis.” Since there is still time for Sides to file a motion for rehearing of his dismissal, his motion to suspend the copy rule is granted. Sides is only required to file one copy. Sides 1 The “copy” rule is actually Rule 9.3 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. is reminded he must still serve a copy of all pleadings on the appellee. See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.5(a), (d), (e). Because we do not have jurisdiction of Sides’s appeal and have dismissed that appeal, and whether he proceeded as a pauper or not, Sides would, nevertheless, owe the filing fee. Accordingly, Sides’s motion to extend the time to file an application to proceed “in forma pauperis” is denied.
