Linda K. McCrary v. Eustolia P. Rios and Leonardo M. Rios

Opinion

Order entered March 6, 2019

In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-18-01395-CV

LINDA K. MCCRARY, Appellant

V.

EUSTOLIA P. RIOS AND LEONARDO M. RIOS, Appellees

On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1 Hunt County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. CC1800388

ORDER Before the Court is appellant’s motion to file brief. The motion was mailed February 27,

2019 and appears to be in response to our January 28, 2019 order directing appellant to file her

brief no later than February 28, 2019. It presents arguments concerning a security deposit and

apparent supersedeas bond appellant posted.

We construe the motion as appellant’s brief on the merits. However, it fails to comply

with the briefing requirements of Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.1. Specifically, it does

not contain (1) a complete list of all parties to the trial court’s judgment or appealed order and

the names and addresses of all trial and appellate counsel; (2) a table of contents; (3) an index of

authorities; (4) a statement of the nature of the case and the trial court’s disposition of the case;

(5) a statement of facts supported by record references; or, (6) argument for the contentions made with citations to the record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(a)-(d), (g), (i). Accordingly, we ORDER

appellant to file, no later than March 18, 2019, an amended brief that complies with the briefing

rules. The brief shall also be served on appellees in accordance with appellate rule 9.5. See id.

9.5.

We caution appellant that failure to comply may result in dismissal of the appeal without

further notice. See id. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b),(c).
