COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE
FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON
ORDER ON MOTION
Cause number: 01-17-00824-CV
Style: Connie Hinojsa v. Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County,
Texas
Date motion filed*: November 30, 2017
Type of motion: Motion for Extension to Late File Appellant’s First Amended Notice
of Appeal
Party filing motion: Appellant Juan C. Cossio’s counsel, Ramzey Zein-Eldin
Document to be filed: Amended Notice of Appeal
Ordered that motion is:
Granted
Denied
Dismissed (e.g., want of jurisdiction, moot)
Other: _____________________________________
Although leave of court is not required because appellant’s brief has not yet been filed
and is due by December 29, 2017, appellant’s motion for extension to late file her
first amended notice of appeal, construed as a motion for leave to amend notice of
appeal, is granted. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.1(g) (“An amended notice of
appeal correcting a defect or omission in an earlier filed notice may be filed in the
appellate court at any time before the appellant’s brief is filed,” and “[a]fter the
appellant’s brief is filed, the notice may be amended only on leave of the appellate
court and on such terms as the court may prescribe.”). However, because appellant did
not attach her amended notice of appeal to her motion or separately file it with the
Clerk of this Court, as required by Rule 25.1(g), appellant is ordered to file her
amended notice of appeal within 10 days of the date of this order.
