v.

Zulema J. GARZA, Jose Juan Garza, II, Andres Garza, Alejandro Garza, and Gabriel Garza, Appellees

From the 49th Judicial District Court, Webb County, Texas Trial Court No. 2020-CVK-002209-D1 Honorable Joe Lopez, Judge Presiding

ORDER Appellant’s brief was due by October 13, 2022, and it was not filed. On October 19, 2022, appellant filed a letter we construe as a motion for extension of time to file her brief. In her letter, appellant states she is a pro se litigant, was unaware of her brief due date, and requests a thirty-day extension of time. After consideration, we grant appellant’s request, and we order appellant to file her brief by November 21, 2022. We caution appellant pro se litigants are held to the same standards as licensed attorneys and are required to comply with the applicable rules of appellate procedure. See e.g., Dunlap v. Trois, No. 04-19-00488-CV, 2020 WL 7633952, at *2 (Tex. App.—San Antonio Dec. 23, 2020, no pet.) (mem. op.).
