Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-19-00363-CV

Michele Shimek, Appellant

v.

Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Appellee

FROM THE 98TH DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY NO. D-1-GN-15-001681 THE HONORABLE DUSTIN M. HOWELL, JUDGE PRESIDING

ORDER

PER CURIAM

Appellant’s brief on appeal was originally due on July 26, 2019. On counsel’s

motion and the Court’s own motion, the time for filing was extended to December 2, 2019.

Appellant’s counsel has now been allowed to withdraw from the case, and appellant has filed a

pro se motion for extension of time, seeking an extension to April 20, 2020, which would be

almost 9 months from the original brief deadline. We grant in part the motion for extension of

time and order appellant to file a brief no later than February 3, 2020—192 days from the

original brief deadline. No further extension of time will be granted and failure to comply with

this order may result in dismissal of this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a).

It is ordered on December 4, 2019.

Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Triana and Smith
