RALANDA WANDA KAY RICHARD, Appellant
V.
FW HUNTER PLAZA, L.P., Appellee
On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 1
Tarrant County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2017-006011-1
Before Pittman, J.; Sudderth, C.J.; and Birdwell, J.
Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT
Appellant Ralanda Wanda Kay Richard’s brief was originally due on June 13,
2018. On June 14, 2018, we granted her first requested extension of time in part and
ordered the brief due no later than July 13, 2018. On July 26, we granted her second
requested extension of her briefing deadline and ordered her brief due on August 20,
2018. On August 21, 2018, we granted Appellant’s third requested extension of her
briefing deadline and ordered her to file the brief no later than September 24, 2018.
We stated, “NO FURTHER EXTENSIONS WILL BE GRANTED.”
Nevertheless, on September 27, 2018, we granted Appellant’s request for leave to file
her brief late, and ordered her tendered brief filed that date.
Also on that date, however, we notified Appellant that her brief is deficient,
specifically listing the ways in which the brief does not comply with the rules of
appellate procedure. See Tex. R. App. P. 9.1, 9.4(i), 38.1(a)–(d), (f)–(k), 2nd Tex. App.
(Fort Worth) Loc. R. 1.A. We directed Appellant to file an amended brief which
complies with the appellate rules by October 8, 2018. See Tex. R. App. P. 9, 38, and
2nd Tex. App. (Fort Worth) Loc. R. 1. We stated that her failure to do so could result
in our striking the noncompliant brief and dismissing the appeal or a waiver of
noncompliant points. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a), 38.9(a), 42.3.
On October 8, 2018, Appellant did not file an amended brief. She instead filed
a “motion requesting extension of time to mail the documents into the courts and ask
2
permission to send evidence of recordings onto a thumb drive by October 31, 2018.”
The motion is DENIED, as are all other pending motions.
Because Appellant has failed to file a compliant, amended brief even after we
afforded her an opportunity to correct her brief, we strike Appellant’s brief and
dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b),
43.2(f).
