RAUL TOLEDO, Appellant, v. MARTHA'S VINEYARD MOBILE HOME PARK, Appellee.
ON APPEAL FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 5 OF NUECES COUNTY, TEXAS
Before Justices Benavides, Longoria, and Silva
ORDER TO CORRECT NOTICE OF APPEAL
PER CURIAM
This cause is currently before the Court on appellant's June 10, 2024, amendment of appeal which contains a request for time to make corrections which we construe as a motion to extend time to file an amended notice of appeal. On May 30, 2024, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that the notice of appeal did not comply with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.1(b), 9.5, 25.1(d)(2), (4), and (8). See Tex. R. App. P. 9.1, 9.5, 25.1(d). Those defects remain uncured.
Pro se litigants are held to the same standards as licensed attorneys, and they must therefore comply with all applicable rules of procedure. Mansfield State Bank v. Cohn, 573 S.W.2d 181, 184-85 (Tex. 1978). Appellant has failed to cure the defects in his notice of appeal but also requested additional time to make corrections.
Therefore, the motion is granted, and appellant is hereby ORDERED to file an amended notice of appeal. Failure to file an amended notice within ten days of this order will result in dismissal of this matter. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c).
