Opinion
Order entered June 10, 2021
In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-21-00309-CV
BROOKS BRAZDA, Appellant
V.
SURETEC INSURANCE COMPANY, Appellee
On Appeal from the Probate Court No 3 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 413348-402
ORDER
Before the Court is appellant’s unopposed motion for extension of time to
file his brief on the merits. We note that, by letter dated May 19, 2021, the Court
questioned its jurisdiction over this appeal and whether the appeal could proceed in
light of a notice of automatic stay included in the clerk’s record. At the time, the
reporter’s record was not yet due. The Court suspended the deadline for filing the
reporter’s record and requested letter briefing from the parties. Appellant has filed
his letter brief; appellee’s letter brief is not yet due. The reporter’s record has not been filed, but it appears from appellant’s
extension motion that a record will not be filed and the deadline for appellant’s
brief was triggered by the filing of the clerk’s record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a).
Accordingly, we GRANT the extension motion to the extent that we SUSPEND
the deadline for the filing of appellant’s brief on the merits pending our
determination of whether the appeal may proceed.
