Opinion

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas January 6, 2020

No. 04-19-00488-CV

Robert DUNLAP, Appellant

v.

Charles TROIS, Appellee

From the 73rd Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2019-CI-00955 Honorable Mary Lou Alvarez, Judge Presiding

ORDER Appellant’s brief was due on December 12, 2019. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a) (setting appellant’s brief due date as thirty days after appellate record is filed). Neither the brief nor a motion for extension of time has been filed. We therefore ORDER appellant to file, by January 21, 2020, his brief and a written response reasonably explaining: (1) his failure to timely file a brief; and (2) why appellee is not significantly injured by appellant’s failure to timely file a brief. If appellant fails to timely file a brief and the written response, we will dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See id. R. 38.8(a); see also id. R. 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal if appellant fails to comply with court order).
