Mary Ann CASTRO, Appellant v. Manuel CASTRO, Appellee
From the 45th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2011-CI-15957
Honorable Janet P. Littlejohn, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Appellee's brief was originally due April 29, 2015. When no brief was filed, this court notified appellee's counsel. Ultimately, appellee's counsel filed a motion to withdraw and a motion to extend the time for appellee to file his brief. The court granted the motion to withdraw and the requested extension, making appellee's brief due June 19, 2015 - fifty-one days from the original due date. Appellee has now filed a pro se motion to extend time to file his brief, asking for an additional sixty days to file his brief. We GRANT THE MOTION IN PART AND DENY IT IN PART. We ORDER appellee to file his brief on or before July 28, 2015, giving appellee an additional thirty-nine days to file his brief - as opposed to the sixty days requested - for a total of ninety days from the original due date. Appellee is advised that NO FURTHER EXTENSIONS OF TIME WILL BE GRANTED WITHOUT WRITTEN PROOF OF EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES. Appellee is also advised that any brief filed must comply with Rule 38.1 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, which can be found on this court's website.
We order the clerk of this court to send a copy of this order to appellant and appellee.
