in the Estate of Ramona Moreno

Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
November 5, 2019
No. 04-19-00600-CV
IN THE ESTATE OF RAMONA MORENO, DECEASED,
From the County Court at Law No 2, Webb County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2017PB7000034-L2
Honorable Victor Villarreal, Judge Presiding
ORDER
On November 4, 2019, this court received Appellants’ brief. The brief violates Texas
Rule of Appellate Procedure 38 in that it does not include record references in the statement of
facts. While substantial compliance with Rule 38 is sufficient, this court may order a party to
amend, supplement, or redraw a brief if it flagrantly violates Rule 38. See TEX. R. APP. P.
38.9(a). We conclude that the formal defects described above constitute flagrant violations of
Rule 38.
We, therefore, ORDER Appellants Teresa Rodriguez, Josefina Gutierrez, Evangelina
Galvan to file an amended brief within fifteen days from the date of this order. If the amended
brief does not correct the violations, we may strike the brief and prohibit appellants from filing
another. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.9(a); see also id. 42.3(c) (allowing dismissal of appellant’s
appeal if appellant fails to comply with a requirement of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure
or an order of this court).
