IN RE RYAN GALLAGHER
On Appeal from the 254th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-19-16008
ORDER
Before the Court are appellant’s March 3, 2020 motions seeking a “waiver
of transcript fees” and an extension of time to file his brief on the merits. The
record before the Court shows appellant is indigent and allowed to proceed without
payment of costs. The clerk’s record was filed free of charge on February 11,
2020. The reporter’s record is due on March 9, 2020. Accordingly, we DENY as
moot appellant’s motion for a free record.
Appellant filed a brief prematurely on February 14, 2020. We GRANT
appellant’s motion seeking an extension as follows. We STRIKE appellant’s brief
filed on February 14th. Appellant shall file his brief on the merits WITHIN
THIRTY DAYS after the reporter’s record is filed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a)(2).
We caution appellant that his brief must comply with the requirements set forth in
rule 38.1 of the rules of appellate procedure. See id. 38.1.
We DIRECT the Clerk of this Court to send a copy of this order to Janet
Saavedra, Official Court Reporter for the 254th Judicial District Court, and
appellant.
