IN THE MATTER OF THE MARRIAGE OF CLINTON BOWERS AND
BARBARA BOWERS
On Appeal from the 300th District Court
Brazoria County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 70242
MAJORITY OPINION
This is an appeal from a judgment signed December 12, 2014. The clerk’s
record was filed February 9, 2015. The reporter’s record was filed February 10,
2015. Appellant filed a brief that failed to substantially comply with Rule 38 of
the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.1(a), (c), (f), and
(i). On September 1, 2015, appellant was ordered to file an amended brief within
thirty days or the appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R.
App. P. 38.9 and 42.3(b).
On September 29, 2015, appellant filed a motion for extension of time to file
his amended brief. The motion fails to state the length of the extension sought or
any facts relied upon to explain the need for an extension. See Tex. R. App. P.
10.5(b)(B) and (C). Accordingly, appellant’s motion is denied and the appeal is
ordered dismissed.
