Jordan Gunter v. Carroll & Hinojosa PLLC ( 2021 )

Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-21-00162-CV
Jordan GUNTER,
Appellant
v.
CARROLL & HINOJOSA PLLC,
Appellee
From the 285th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2018-CI-07466
Honorable Cynthia Marie Chapa, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice
Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Delivered and Filed: August 18, 2021
DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION
On June 3, 2021, we ordered appellant to provide written proof to this court within ten days
of the date of the order that he had requested the reporter’s record and that he had paid the reporter’s
fee or was entitled to appeal without paying the reporter’s fee. We further ordered that, if appellant
failed to respond to our order, his brief would be due within thirty days of the date of the order and
we would consider only those issues or points raised in appellant’s brief that do not require a
reporter’s record for a decision. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(c). By July 12, 2021, appellant had not
responded to our order and had not filed a brief. We, therefore, ordered appellant to file his brief
04-21-00162-CV
and to show cause in writing by July 27, 2021, why this appeal should not be dismissed for want
of prosecution. See id. R. 38.8(a); see also id. R. 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal if an
appellant fails to comply with a court order). Appellant did not respond to this court’s order, and,
to date, appellant has not filed a brief. Because appellant failed to timely file a brief in this appeal,
this appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. See id. R. 38.8(a), 42.3(b).
