Soraya O.Carbone Cociglio v. Jose Correa ( 2022 )

NUMBER 13-22-00244-CV
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG
SORAYA O.CARBONE COCIGLIO, Appellant,
v.
JOSE CORREA, Appellee.
On appeal from County Court at Law No. 4
of Hidalgo County, Texas.
ORDER TO CORRECT NOTICE OF APPEAL
Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Longoria and Silva
Order Per Curiam
This cause is currently before the Court on appellant’s third motion for extension
of time to cure a notice of appeal defect. On May 31, 2022, the Clerk of the Court notified
appellant that the notice of appeal did not comply with Texas Rules of Appellate
Procedure 9.1 and 9.5. See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.1, 9.5. We previously granted two
extensions to cure the defect.
Appellant requests more time to obtain an attorney. However, pro se litigants are
held to the same standards as licensed attorneys, and they must therefore comply with
all applicable rules of procedure. Mansfield State Bank v. Cohn, 573 S.W.2d 181, 184-85
(Tex. 1978).
Appellant has failed to cure the defects in her notice of appeal. Therefore, this
motion is granted and appellant is hereby ORDERED to file an amended notice of appeal.
Failure to file an amended notice of appeal within ten days of this order will result in
dismissal of this matter. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed on the
8th day of December, 2022.
