Zulema GARZA, Appellant v. Zulema J. GARZA, Jose Juan Garza, III, Andres Garza, Alejandro Garza, and Gabriel Garza, Appellees
From the 49th Judicial District Court, Webb County, Texas Trial Court No. 2020-CVK-002209-D1 Honorable Joe Lopez, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Beth Watkins, Justice.
On June 28, 2021, we issued an order noting that appellant's brief was late. We ordered appellant to file her brief and a written response explaining her failure to timely file the brief by July 13, 2021. In response to our June 28 order, appellant filed a letter we construe as a motion for extension of time to file her brief. Appellant's letter stated she is a pro se litigant, explained that she has recently been involved in an accident, and requested "an extension of at least 2 weeks' time."
After consideration, appellant's request for an extension of time is GRANTED. We ORDER appellant to file her brief by July 30, 2021. We caution appellant that pro se litigants are held to the same standards as licensed attorneys and are required to comply with the applicable rules of procedure. See, e.g., Dunlap v. Trois, No. 04-19-00488-CV, 2020 WL 7633952, at *2 (Tex. App -San Antonio Dec. 23, 2020, no pet.) (mem. op.).
