Michael Thomas PAUL, Appellant v. GREG ABBOT ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
From the 225th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2001-CI-16843
Honorable Michael E. Mery, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 21.5(d) specifies the contents of a notice of appeal in a civil case. TEX. R. APP. P. 21.5(d). On November 10, 2014, Michael Thomas Paul filed a document in the trial court titled, "Affidavit of Appeal." Although the document might be construed as expressing Paul's desire to appeal, the document fails to comply with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.1(d) and is therefore defective. See id. Accordingly, Paul is ORDERED to file a notice of appeal that complies with Rule 25.1(d) no later than 30 days from the date of this order. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.1. In the event Paul fails to comply with this order, this appeal will be dismissed. See id.
