Jimmy POTHITAKIS, Appellant v. UNITRIN SAFEGUARD INS. CO, Appellee
From the County Court At Law No. 10, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2020CV02127 Honorable Cesar Garcia, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice.
On February 8, 2024, this court issued an order deeming the reporter's record complete based on appellant's failure to provide written proof either the reporter's fee has been paid or arrangements have been made to pay the reporter's fee or appellant is entitled to appeal without paying the reporter's fee. The clerk's record was filed on February 12, 2024.
Accordingly, appellant's brief was due to be filed by March 13, 2024. Neither the brief nor a motion for extension of time compliant with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) has been filed. Appellant is therefore ORDERED to file, no later than April 1, 2024, 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 by April 1, 2024, 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).
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said court on this 20th day of March, 2024.
