Opinion

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-25-00627-CV

Lawrence JEANPIERRE, Appellant

v.

DISCOVER BANK, Appellee

From the 288th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2024-CI-08002 Honorable Marisa Flores, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice Irene Rios, Justice Velia J. Meza, Justice

Delivered and Filed: April 22, 2026

DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION

Appellant’s brief was originally due on December 19, 2025. Appellant filed his brief late

along with a motion for extension of time to file his brief on January 12, 2026. After finding that

appellant’s brief flagrantly violated Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 38.1 and 9.4, we ordered

his brief stricken and that he file an amended brief on or before March 6, 2026.

On March 2, 2026, appellant filed his amended brief which only cured some of the

violations mentioned in our order and ultimately violated Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 38.1 04-25-00627-CV

and 9.4. We again ordered appellant’s amended brief stricken and ordered appellant to file a second

amended brief on or before March 30, 2026, and warned appellant that his failure to file a

compliant brief could result in our striking his brief, prohibiting him from filing another brief, and

proceeding as if he had failed to file a brief.

To date, appellant has not filed his brief or a motion for extension of time to file his brief.

Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1);

42.3(c).
