CITY OF HEWITT, Texas and Police Chief James Barton, Appellants v. Danny POWELL, Appellee
From the 414th Judicial District Court, McLennan County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2011-4376-5
Vicki Lynn Menard, Judge Presiding
ORDER
On August 15, 2013, we ordered Appellants to show cause in writing not later than August 30, 2013, why the judgment in this appeal was final and appealable. We warned Appellants that if they did not timely respond, this appeal would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a); Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001).
Appellants did not file a timely response. However, on the due date, appellee Danny Powell filed a response arguing that the judgment was final and appealable.
Our show cause order is satisfied; we retain this appeal on the court's docket. Appellants' brief is due thirty days from the date of this order. Any motion for extension of time to file Appellants' brief will be strongly disfavored. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(d).
