IN THE INTEREST OF A.M.G., I.V.G. AND E.G., Children
On Appeal from the 255th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF13-17718
ORDER
On September 12, 2014 we received but did not file appellant's brief in this case because the record was incomplete and appellant's brief was not yet due. Because the record had not yet been completed or filed, the brief received on September 12, 2014 does not contain appropriate citations to the clerk's or reporter's records. For this reason, some or all of appellant's issues are subject to waiver. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(i); Keyes Helium Co. v. Regency Gas Servs., L.P., 393 S.W.3d 858, 861 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2012, no pet.).
By order dated September 22, 2014 we granted the court reporter's request for an extension of time to file the reporter's record, ordered the reporter's record filed by September 29, 2014 and notified appellant that appellant's brief would be due within thirty days of the filing of the reporter's record. By postcard dated September 26, 2014, we notified appellant the reporter's record had been filed. By postcard dated October 28, 2014 we notified appellant the time for filing appellant's brief had expired and directed appellant to file a brief and an extension motion within ten days. To date appellant has not responded.
Accordingly, IF appellant does not file an amended brief with appropriate citations to the reporter's record within TEN DAYS of the date of this order, appellant's brief received on September 12, 2014 is ORDERED filed as of December 30, 2014, and the appeal will be submitted on that brief subject to the waiver provisions of rule of appellate procedure 38.1(i).
Appellee's brief is due FORTY-FIVE DAYS from the date of this order.
