In The
Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
No. 06-13-00066-CV
CARL STORCK AND VICKI STORCK, Appellants
V.
TRES LAGOS PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC., Appellee
On Appeal from the 62nd District Court
Franklin County, Texas
Trial Court No. 10964
Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
ORDER
The clerk’s record in this matter was filed October 4, 2013, and the reporter’s record was
filed October 28, making the appellants’ brief originally due November 27. The briefing
deadline was extended twice on appellants’ motion, and the most recent deadline was
January 17, 2014. On January 17, appellants filed a motion to abate, which is actually nothing
more than appellants’ third motion to extend the deadline for filing a brief. To the extent
appellants’ motion seeks abatement of this matter to the trial court or otherwise, it is overruled.
With respect to appellants’ request for a third extension of the briefing deadline, we have
reviewed both the motion and the record on appeal, and we find no compelling information to
convince us that additional time to prepare the brief in this matter is warranted. Consequently,
the “motion to abate,” to the extent it seeks an extension of the briefing deadline, is also
overruled.
By this order, we set the final deadline for filing appellants’ brief as February 18, 2014.
Should appellants fail to file a brief within the time allotted, this appeal may be dismissed for
want of prosecution pursuant to the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See TEX. R. APP. P.
42.3.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
