Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-18-00659-CV
DELORIS PHILLIPS, Appellant
V.
PORSHALA DANYEL PHILLIPS AND WILLIAM BRENT, Appellees
On Appeal from the 254th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-18-00541
ORDER
Before the Court is appellant’s “expedited emergency motion for necessitated extension
of time to file letter brief and request for clarity of supplemental record combined as one with
clerk’s record.” We note we directed appellant to file the letter brief after it appeared, from a
review of the record, that we lacked jurisdiction over the appeal as no final judgment had been
signed and the orders being challenged were not appealable. The letter brief was first due July
23, 2018, but we subsequently extended the deadline to August 6, 2018 and then to August 20,
2018.
Our jurisdiction over an appeal is a threshold issue. Accordingly, we GRANT the
motion to the extent that we ORDER the letter brief be filed no later than September 17, 2018.
No further extension requests will be considered and failure to comply may result in dismissal of
the appeal without further notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3.
