in Re: Todd Pruett

Opinion

Order entered July 31, 2013

In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-13-00378-CV

TODD PRUETT, Appellant

V.

MARK STOLZ, ET AL., Appellees

On Appeal from the 193rd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-12-07463

ORDER

Before the Court is appellant’s July 24, 2013 motion for an extension of time to file a

brief. Appellant explains that he needs an extension of time to file a brief because he is trying to

obtain a reporter’s record from the 265th Judicial District Court in Dallas County, Texas. By

order signed on May 24, 2013, this Court denied appellant’s motion for the reporter’s record

from the 265th Judicial District Court, because no record from the proceedings in the 265th

Judicial District Court was made part of the record in the proceedings on appeal in this case.

For this reason, we DENY appellant’s motion. On the Court’s own motion, we ORDER appellant to file his brief on or before August

23, 2013. We caution appellant that failure to file a brief by that date will result in dismissal of

the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1)
