Steve NUNEZ, Appellant v. Alma Idalia NUNEZ, Appellee
From the 63rd Judicial District Court, Val Verde County, Texas Trial Court No. 34916 Honorable Sid L. Harle, Judge Presiding.
ORDER
Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice.
Court reporters Lisa A. Traslavina and Melinda Walker filed notifications of late record. On June 28 and June 29, 2022, in response to Traslavina's and Walker's notifications, respectively, we ordered appellant to provide written proofs to this court within ten days of the date of the orders that he had paid the reporters' fees or was entitled to appeal without paying the reporters' fees. We further ordered that, if appellant failed to respond to our orders, his brief would be due within thirty days of the date of the orders and we would consider only those issues or points raised in appellant's brief that do not require a reporter's record for a decision. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(c). Appellant did not respond to our orders, and appellant has not filed a brief. Appellant is therefore ORDERED to file, within fifteen days of the date of this order, his brief and a written response reasonably explaining: (1) his failure to timely file a brief, and (2) 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 this 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 an appellant fails to comply with a court order).
