STATE FARM BANK,

From the County Court at Law No. 2, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 370251
Honorable Jason Pulliam, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice
Karen Angelini, Justice
Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
Delivered and Filed: November 5, 2014
DISMISSED
By order dated August 14, 2014, appellant’s brief was stricken from the appellate record
because appellant’s brief did not contain citations to the record in the statement of facts and
arguments sections of his brief. TEX. R. APP. P. Rule 38.1(g),(i). Appellant was ordered to file an
amended brief containing appropriate record citations in the statement of facts and arguments
sections of his brief no later than September 15, 2014.
On September 13, 2014, appellant filed a motion requesting a copy of the record. In his
motion, appellant acknowledged that he had been informed that he must review the record in this
04-14-00143-CV
court’s offices. See 4th Tex. App. (San Antonio) Loc. R. 7.2(b) (“Parties who are representing
themselves and are not licensed attorneys may inspect a record only in designated areas of the
Court’s offices.”). Accordingly, appellant’s motion was denied; however, the deadline for
appellant to file his amended brief containing appropriate citations to the record was extended to
October 3, 2014. This court’s order stated, “If appellant does not file a brief containing appropriate
record citations by October 3, 2014, this appeal will be dismissed for failure to comply with this
court’s order. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3.”
Because appellant did not file an amended brief by the stated deadline, appellant failed to
comply with this court’s order. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed. See id.
