Kevin Wiemken v. Waller County, et al.
ORDER Trial court case number: 2019-03-8723 Trial court: 506th District Court of Waller County
The appellant, Kevin Wiemken, has filed a motion for default judgment against appellees, arguing appellees "did not answer in a timely manner" whether they have jurisdiction and "what species the appellee's [sic] will take for payment for an [sic] alleged property taxes." Appellant's motion does not comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. Rule 9.1 requires unrepresented parties to provide, in addition to their signature, the party's mailing address, telephone number, fax number, if any, and email address. TEX. R. APP. P. 9.1(b). Rule 9.4 requires all documents filed in appellate courts to have double-spaced text and to be printed in a conventional typeface no smaller than 14-point. TEX. R. APP. P. 9.4(d), (e). Rule 10.1 requires a motion to "state with particularity the grounds on which it is based;" "set forth the order or relief sought;" and "in civil cases [such as this one], . . . contain or be accompanied by a certificate stating that the filing party conferred, or made a reasonable attempt to confer, with all other parties about the merits of the motion and whether those parties oppose the motion." TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1(a)(2), (3), and (5).
Accordingly, the appellant's motion for default judgment is denied.
It is so ORDERED. Judge's signature: /s/ Evelyn V. Keyes
