MARY CUMMINS, APPELLANT
V.
AMANDA LOLLAR, APPELLEE
On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 3
Tarrant County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2015-002259-3; Honorable Mike Hrabal, Presiding
October 5, 2016
ORDER GRANTING APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION
Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and PIRTLE, JJ.
This is an interlocutory appeal pursuant to section 51.014(a)(12) of the Texas
Civil Practice and Remedies Code (West Supp. 2016), wherein Appellant, Mary
Cummins, seeks to appeal the trial court’s order denying her motion to dismiss the
proceedings presently pending in Tarrant County trial court cause number 2015-
002259-3. Originally filed in the Second Court of Appeals, this appeal was transferred
to this court on September 15, 2016, pursuant to an order of the Texas Supreme Court.
Prior to that transfer, on August 22, 2016, the Second Court of Appeals entered
an order granting Appellant’s Motion for Extension, Request for Court Records filed
August 18, 2016. That order stated that “[a] copy of the appellate record for purpose of
preparing appellant’s brief is enclosed.” The order also stated that Cummins’s brief was
due Friday, September 30, 2016.
Pending before this court is a second motion, also entitled Appellant’s Motion for
Extension, Request for Court Records filed September 30, 2016. Although the motion
is unclear, because the Second Court of Appeals has previously provided Cummins the
entire appellate record, we perceive the motion as simply requesting additional time to
prepare and file her brief. While she only requests an extension of one week, we grant
her motion and extend the deadline for filing her brief until Friday, October 21, 2016. All
other relief requested, if any, is denied.
Also filed with this court is a document entitled Appellant’s Notice Request Court
Records filed October 3, 2016. To the extent that Cummins is seeking to supplement
the appellate record before this court pursuant to Rule 34.5(c) of the Texas Rules of
Appellate Procedure, we direct her to address her request to the trial court clerk.
It is so ordered.
