Robert Dunlap v. Charles Trois ( 2020 )

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).
