Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
May 1, 2014
No. 04-13-00787-CV
Leticia R. ALVAREZ,
Appellant
v.
Reymundo ALVAREZ,
Appellee
From the County Court at Law, Starr County, Texas
Trial Court No. CC-12-340
Honorable Romero Molina, Judge Presiding
ORDER
This appeal was reinstated on the Court’s docket on March 21, 2014. The clerk’s record
was filed on March 28, 2014. On April 14, 2014, we ordered the court reporter to file the
reporter’s record or a notification of late record on or before May 12, 2014.
On April 28, 2014, appellant filed a motion for extension of time to file her brief,
indicating that an extension was necessary because the court reporter needed additional time to
complete the reporter’s record. However, because the reporter’s record has not been filed, the
due date for filing appellant’s brief has not yet been determined. Under Texas Rule of Appellate
Procedure 38.6, an appellant must file a brief within 30 days after the later of the date the clerk’s
record was filed or the date the reporter’s record was filed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6. Thus,
appellant’s motion for extension of time to file her brief is premature.
Appellant’s motion for extension of time to file her brief is therefore DENIED
WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
