The State of Texas

The court has received a copy of the notices of appeal in the above cases. 

See Tex. R. App. P. 25.1(e).

We have not received a docketing statement for the above cases. See

Tex. R. App. P. 32.1. Therefore, the appellant is directed to file a docketing

statement no later than Friday, July 31, 2015, or as soon as practicable

thereafter. If you cannot file a complete docketing statement at that time for good

cause, you are directed to send a letter to the clerk explaining your reasons for

not timely filing the statement and when you expect to file the statement.

A filing fee of $195.00 is required by appellant for EACH case above. See

Tex. R. App. P. 5 and Texas Supreme Court Order of August 16, 2013 regarding

fees to be charged in civil cases. If the $195.00 is not paid by Friday, July 31,

2015, the case is subject to DISMISSAL per Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c).

If you do not have a lawyer for this appeal and cannot afford one, you may

be able to obtain the assistance of a volunteer lawyer, free of charge, through a

program administered by the State Bar of Texas and the Tarrant County Bar

Association's Appellate Section. Information about this program can be found at

http://www.txcourts.gov/2ndcoa/practice-before-the-court/pro-bono.aspx or at the

Clerk's office front desk. Both appellants and appellees may request referral to

the program by completing Section X of the docketing statement, also available

at this court’s website or at the front desk. The Second Court of Appeals does

not run the program or appoint lawyers to litigants. You must therefore still

comply with all applicable deadlines until a volunteer attorney appears in this

court on your behalf.

NOTE TO APPELLANT: At or before the time for perfecting the appeal,

you must request in writing that the official reporter prepare the reporter’s record. 

The request must designate the exhibits to be included. A request to the court

reporter must also designate the portions of the proceedings to be included. You

must also file a copy of this request with the trial court clerk. See Tex. R. App. P.

34.6.

NOTE TO PARTIES: Except for the docketing statement, all filings by the

parties, and all correspondence and rulings by the court, in this appeal will be

posted to this court’s website and will be accessible to the parties and the public

when viewing the case record via the Case Search function on this court’s

website. Upon a party’s motion showing good cause, the court may order that

filings and briefs in an appeal not be posted to the court’s website. Motions and

briefs filed with this court must redact sensitive information in accordance with

rules 9.9 and 9.10 of the Rules of Appellate Procedure and this court’s local rule

7. Tex. R. App. P. 9.9, 9.10; 2nd Tex. App. (Fort Worth) Loc. R. 7. The court

may require a document to be corrected and resubmitted if, upon screening, the

court discovers unredacted sensitive data. A party who is not represented by

counsel is not required to include his or her home address on any filing except

the docketing statement.

NOTE TO COURT REPORTER: You must file the reporter's record in this

court within 60 days after the date the judgment is signed; OR 120 days if a

timely motion for new trial is filed; OR 10 days after the notice of appeal is filed if

this is an accelerated appeal; OR 30 days after the notice of appeal is filed in a

restricted appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 35.1. You should contact the appellant(s)

and make arrangements for receiving payment for the record. See Tex. R. App.

P. 35.3(b)(3). If you were not the court reporter in this case, or if additional court

reporters took testimony in this case, please advise the court in writing

immediately.

Respectfully yours,

DEBRA SPISAK, CLERK
