PATRICIA MCALISTER, Appellant v. DAVID CURTIS SHAFER; WINSTON KNOX; WOOTEN AND SONSENTERPRISE, LLC; JONATHAN COLEMAN; AND CENTRAL TEXASDACHSHUND RESCUE, Appellees


On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. CC-20-02038-A

Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Goldstein, and Justice Smith

MEMORANDUM OPINION

ROBERT D. BURNS, III CHIEF JUSTICE

By notice of appeal filed April 13, 2022, appellant challenges "the judgment signed by the [trial] court on March 14, 2022." Because the clerk's record did not reflect the trial court had signed a judgment or order on that date or since then, we questioned our jurisdiction over the appeal. See Farmer v. Ben E. Keith Co., 907 S.W.2d 495, 496 (Tex. 1995) (per curiam) (appellate timetable begins to run from date written judgment or appealable order is signed). We directed appellant to file a letter brief addressing our concern no later than June 27, 2022, and subsequently extended the deadline twice, making the letter brief last due August 22, 2022.

Our order granting the last extension cautioned appellant that further extension requests would not be granted and failure to file the brief by August 22 could result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. Rather than filing the letter brief, appellant has filed another extension motion. Having cautioned her that further extension requests would not be granted, we deny the motion.

On the record before us, we dismiss the appeal. See id. 42.3(a); Ben E. Keith, 907 S.W.2d at 496.

JUDGMENT

In accordance with this Court's opinion of this date, we DISMISS the appeal.

Judgment entered.
