STATE OF TEXAS FOR THE BEST INTEREST AND PROTECTION OF J.B., As a Mentally Ill Person, Appellant/s
From the Probate Court No 1, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2014-MH-2140
Honorable Polly Jackson Spencer, Judge Presiding
ORDER
These appeals are taken from two orders signed on June 26, 2014 in a mental health care case. Appellant timely filed notice of appeal in each case. The clerk's record was filed in this court on July 3, 2014, and the reporter's record was filed on August 4, 2014. By order dated August 13, 2014, we stated that the two appeals were being consolidated for purposes of appeal and that the appellant's brief was due on August 25, 2014. Thereafter, appellant requested two extensions of time to file the appellant's brief which were granted. In our order dated October 16, 2014, we stated that the appellant's brief was due on October 20, 2014, with "No Further Extensions." To date, the appellant's brief has not been filed.
It is therefore ORDERED that appellant show cause in writing within seven (7) days from the date of this order why these consolidated appeals should not be dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a).
