Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-21-00651-CV
RUTH TORRES, Appellant
V.
UNAUTHORIZED PRACTICE OF LAW COMMITTEE FOR THE
SUPREME COURT OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 192nd Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-20-07071
ORDER
Before the Court is appellant’s November 2, 2021 second motion for
extension of time to file her brief and withdrawal of her November 1, 2021 motion
for contempt. Appellant explains the extension is necessary because a
supplemental clerk’s record she requested has not yet been filed. Appellee has
filed a response opposing the extension and noting that the documents appellant
has requested be included in the supplemental clerk’s record were filed in a
different trial court cause and were not made part of the trial record in this case.
Attached to appellee’s response is a copy of appellant’s supplemental record
request.
We have reviewed the supplemental record request. As recited there, the
documents appellant seeks to have included in the record were “removed from
public view” by order of the trial judge in that case. To the extent appellant seeks
an extension to file her brief so the record can be supplemented with documents
from another trial court cause that (1) appear to be sealed or to which access is
otherwise restricted and (2) were not made a part of the trial record in this case, we
DENY the November 2nd motion. We GRANT the November 2nd motion to the
extent it concerns appellant’s contempt motion and ORDER that motion
WITHDRAWN.
On our own motion, we ORDER appellant’s brief, which was due October
28, 2021, be filed no later than November 15, 2021.
We DIRECT the Clerk of the Court to send a copy of this order to Dallas
County District Clerk Felicia Pitre and the parties.
