Clark A. Tchernowitz v. Gardens at Clearwater

Gardens at ClearwaterAppellee/s Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas December 4, 2015 No. 04-15-00716-CV Clark A. TCHERNOWITZ, Appellant v. GARDENS AT CLEARWATER, Appellee From the County Court at Law, Kerr County, Texas Trial Court No. 15542C Honorable Susan Harris, Judge Presiding ORDER On November 16, 2015, this Court received a certificate of civil appeals filed by the Kerr County District Clerk. The Certificate serves as notice to this Court of Clark Tchernowitz’s intention to appeal a final judgment signed on November 5, 2015. However, the notice of appeal is defective and does not satisfy Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.1(d). Therefore, appellant must file an amended Notice of Appeal that complies with Rule 25.1(d) on or before December 16, 2015. If a compliant amended Notice of Appeal is not filed by Appellant on or before this date, this Court may dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a), (c). On November 30, 2015, Appellant filed a letter with this Court requesting waiver of the filing fees due to his indigence. However, Appellant failed to file an affidavit of indigence in compliance with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 20.1. Therefore, appellant must file an affidavit of indigency that complies with Rule 20.1 on or before December 16, 2015. If a compliant affidavit of indigency is not filed by Appellant on or before this date, Appellant will be required to pay for the costs of any appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1. _________________________________ Jason Pulliam, Justice IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said court on this 4th day of December, 2015. ___________________________________ Keith E.
