Appellee
From the 73rd Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2013-CI-00960
Honorable Antonia Arteaga, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
Marialyn Barnard, Justice
Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice
Delivered and Filed: March 12, 2014
DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION
Appellant’s brief was originally due December 27, 2013. On December 27, 2013, appellant
filed a one-page pro se letter that appeared to be an appellate brief. However, because appellant’s
letter/brief did not comply with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.1, on January 10, 2014, this
court struck appellant’s pro se letter/brief and ordered appellant to file an amended brief that
complies with Rule 38.1 no later than February 6, 2014. Our order cautioned appellant that if an
appellate brief that complied with Rule 38.1 was not filed by February 6, 2014, this appeal would
be dismissed for want of prosecution. TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1).
04-13-00618-CV
On February 6, 2014, appellant requested an extension of time in which to file the amended
brief, which was granted until February 24, 2014. Our order, dated February 11, 2014, again
cautioned appellant that if an appellate brief that complied with Rule 38.1 was not filed by
February 24, 2014, this appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution. TEX. R. APP. P.
38.8(a)(1). An amended brief has not been filed. Therefore, we dismiss the appeal for want of
prosecution.
