Nasser NAKISSA, Appellant v. Sarah E. MENCHACA, Appellee
From the 131st Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2018-CI-19593 Honorable Cathleen M. Stryker, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Beth Watkins, Justice
On December 14, 2021, we ordered appellant to provide written proof by December 27, 2021 that he had: (1) requested the reporter's record; and (2) paid or made arrangements to pay the reporter's fee for preparing the record or was entitled to appeal without paying the fee. Our order stated that if appellant failed to respond within the time provided, his brief would be due within thirty days from the date of the order. Appellant did not respond to our December 14, 2021 order. Accordingly, his brief was due by January 13, 2022.
Neither the brief nor a motion for extension of time has been filed. We therefore ORDER appellant to file, by February 9, 2022:
(1) his brief; and
(2) a written response reasonably explaining: (a) his failure to timely file a brief; and (b) why appellee is not significantly injured by appellant's failure to timely file a brief.
If appellant fails to timely file a brief and the written response, we will dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a); see also Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal if appellant fails to comply with court order).
