Opinion
Order entered January 9, 2023
In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-22-00900-CV
DOMANCIO CASTILLO, Appellant
V.
SAVING GRACE #22 LLC, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. CC-22-02837-A
ORDER
On January 3, 2023, Cleatrice Willform-Castillo filed (1) a motion for
designation for the record on appeal, (2) motion for extension of time to file a
brief, and (3) motion to amend complaint. In the latter two motions, Ms.
Willform-Castillo states that appellant Domancio Castillo has given her his power
of attorney. A person who is not a licensed attorney may not represent other
persons or entities in legal matters. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 7; Harkins v. Murphy &
Bolanz, 51 Tex. Civ. App. 568, 112 S.W. 136, 138 (Tex. Civ. App.—Dallas 1908, writ dism’d) (power of attorney does not authorize one to act as attorney-at-law).
Accordingly, the Court will take no action on these motions.
On January 4, 2023, Ms. Willform-Castillo filed an amended notice of
appeal to reflect herself as the appellant in this appeal. She filed the amended
notice of appeal pursuant to her power of attorney not as a party. Accordingly, we
STRIKE the amended notice of appeal.
