Anthony MOORE, Appellant v. Jo Ann MOORE, Appellee
From the County Court, Atascosa County, Texas Trial Court No. 23-04-0279-CVA Honorable Bob Brendel, Judge Presiding
ORDER
IRENE RIOS JUSTICE
On June 20, 2024, appellant, who is proceeding pro se in this appeal, filed a handwritten document labeled "Emergency Motion" by fax. This court's deputy clerks alerted appellant by phone that his "Emergency Motion" was not legible. Appellant then filed a second copy of what appears to be the same handwritten document, again by fax. Like the June 20 document, the June 21 document is not legible. See Tex. R. App. P. 9.4(a) (documents filed with an appellate court must be produced by a process "that produces a distinct black image").
We STRIKE appellant's June 20, 2024 and June 21, 2024 emergency motions without prejudice to refiling. See id. R. 9.4(k) ("If a document fails to conform with these rules, the court may strike the document[.]"). If appellant wishes to refile his "Emergency Motion," we encourage him to do so via electronic filing, U.S. mail, or in-person rather than by fax. See Tex. R. App. P. 9.2(a)(1), (b), (c). Appellant's refiled motion, if any, must comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. We further caution appellant that rude or disrespectful behavior toward court staff will not be tolerated.
