Theresa Fay Jerry v. Deutsche Bank National Trust Company and Robert Valdespino as Trustee

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas June 16, 2016 No. 04-15-00663-CV Theresa Fay JERRY, Appellant v. DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY and Robert Valdespino as Trustee, Et al., Appellees From the 37th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2014-CI-05864 Honorable Antonia Arteaga, Judge Presiding ORDER On June 6, 2016, appellant filed a “First Amended Brief and Reply Brief of Appellant.” Local Rule 8.4 requires a party who wishes to amend her brief to obtain the Court’s permission. See 4th Ct. App. Local Rule 8.4. Appellant did not obtain the Court’s permission to amend her brief. The “First Amended Brief and Reply Brief of Appellant” also does not contain sections that Rule 38.1 requires for an appellant’s brief and primarily includes “rebuttal” arguments. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.1. We therefore construe the “First Amended Brief and Reply Brief of Appellant” as a reply brief only. See id. R. 38.3. _________________________________ Luz Elena D.
