Doris A. Houston v. City of Dallas, Self Insured

Opinion

Order entered September 18, 2018

In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-18-00789-CV

DORIS A. HOUSTON, Appellant

V.

CITY OF DALLAS, SELF INSURED, Appellee

On Appeal from the 429th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 429-05515-2017

ORDER Before the Court is appellant’s September 17, 2018 first motion for extension of time to

file brief. The motion recites appellant, who is pro se, has not conferred with opposing counsel.

Because Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.3(a)(1) allows the Court to determine a

motion to extend time to file a brief without holding the motion for ten days to allow for a

response, we GRANT the motion and ORDER the brief be filed no later than October 17, 2018.

All further motions shall contain a certificate of conference “stating that the filing party

conferred, or made a reasonable attempt to confer, with all other parties about the merits of the

motion and whether those parties oppose the motion.” See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1(a)(5).
