Alfredo Meneses VELA, Appellant v. Maria Guadalupe VELA, Appellee
From the County Court, Gillespie County, Texas Trial Court No. 16603CCL Honorable Christopher G. Nevins, Judge Presiding
ORDER
REBECA C. MARTINEZ, CHIEF JUSTICE.
Appellant's brief was due to be filed by June 30, 2022. On July 21, 2022, this court notified appellant the brief was late and instructed appellant to file a response in writing within ten days stating a reasonable explanation for failing to timely file the brief and demonstrate he is taking affirmative steps to remedy the deficiency.
On August 8, 2022, appellant filed a pro se response stating he is incarcerated and needs more time. We GRANT the request for more time and ORDER appellant to file, no later than September 7, 2022, his brief and a written response reasonably explaining (1) his failure to timely file the brief, and (2) why appellee is not significantly injured by appellant's failure to timely file a brief. If appellant fails to file a brief and the written response by September 7, 2022, 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).
