William Bush and Mari Marc S.A. de C.V. v. Cardtronics, Inc. and Cardtronics S.A. de C.V.
MEMORANDUM ORDER
Trial court: 281st District Court of Harris County
Appellant William Bush, proceeding pro se, filed a brief signed by himself only, purporting to be on behalf of himself and on behalf of appellant Mari Marc, S.A. de C.V. Bush asserted in the brief that Mari Marc, S.A. de C.V. is a Mexican corporation. This Court struck the brief on the grounds that Bush lacked authority to appear on behalf of the corporation. See Corona v. Pilgrim's Pride Corp., 245 S.W.3d 75, 79 (Tex. App.—Texarkana 2008, pet. denied) (holding non-attorney may not appear pro se on behalf of corporation).
This Court provided appellants an opportunity to obtain counsel. We notified the parties that, if Mari Marc S.A. de C.V. failed to obtain counsel, its appeal would be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c); see also MHL Homebuilder LLC v. Dabal/Graphic Resource, No. 14-05-00295-CV, 2005 WL 1404475 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] June 16, 2005, no pet.) (mem. op.). Bush has since retained counsel but Mari Marc S.A. de C.V. has not. Accordingly, we dismiss Mari Marc S.A. de C.V.'s appeal. Bush's appeal remains set for submission on October 15, 2013.
It is so ORDERED. Judge's signature: Laura Carter Higley
