CRYSTAL WYATT, Appellant
V.
SOUTH LAWN PALMS, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No. 2
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Case No. 1252666
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant filed a brief on March 16, 2026 that failed to comply with the
requirements of Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.1. The Court issued an order
on March 26, 2026, striking the brief and ordering appellant to correct the
deficiencies noted in the order and advising that the appeal might be dismissed if
appellant failed to file a corrected brief.
On March 26, 2026, appellant filed a corrected brief that failed to correct all
of the deficiencies noted in the Courtโs March 26, 2026 order. Because appellant
filed a corrected brief the same day the Court issued its order, it was unclear whether
appellant had received the Courtโs order before filing the corrected brief. On April
16, 2026, appellant filed a letter, which the Court construed as a motion for extension
of time to file a corrected brief, and the Court granted appellant an extension until
May 14, 2026. No brief was filed by the stated deadline.
Despite notice that the appeal might be dismissed if appellant failed to file a
brief correcting the deficiencies listed in the March 26 order, appellantโs corrected
brief failed to correct all of the deficiencies noted in this Courtโs order. And, after
being given additional time to correct the deficiencies, appellant failed to do so.
Accordingly, the Court dismisses the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b)โ(c),
43.2(f). Any pending motions are dismissed as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Caughey, Johnson, and Dokupil.
