TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-18-00273-CV
William Anthony Brubaker, Appellant
v.
Patricia Byrne Brubaker, Appellee
FROM THE 425TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY
NO. 17-0199-F425, THE HONORABLE BETSY F. LAMBETH, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant’s brief was originally due on June 25, 2018. After this Court granted
multiple motions requesting an extension of time to file his brief, appellant’s brief was due
October 23, 2018. In granting the most recent extension, this Court advised appellant that no
further extensions would be granted. On October 23, 2018, appellant filed a motion for
reconsideration of extension of time to file his brief. Shortly after midnight on October 24, 2018,
appellant submitted a brief, which was received, not filed, because it failed to comply with the
rules of appellate procedure. Among other deficiencies, the brief lacks a signature, as well as the
following required sections: issues presented, statement of facts, summary of the argument, and
argument. See Tex. R. App. P. 9.1, 38.1(f)-(i). We notified appellant of various specific
deficiencies and requested that he resubmit a compliant brief on or before October 26, 2018. To
date, a rules-compliant brief has not been tendered for filing and is overdue. We deny
appellant’s motion for reconsideration of time to file his brief. We dismiss this appeal for want
of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b).
