TO: THE JUSTICES OF THIS COURT

  On October 14, 2015, Hunter was first able to access
the   underlying         court’s         record       due   to    a   new,     free
technology     offered         by    the      underlying         court   (“TCTDC”
which means “Travis County Texas District Court”).
  And Hunter discovered that there is 1) no notice of
court setting dated in June 2014 or any other time and
2) no dismissal order dated August 25, 2014, or any
other time in the underlying record.

  Hunter’s     initial         brief       was      drafted      without   Hunter
having    access     to    the       underlying         court’s       record.    As
shown in Hunter’s initial brief, which was filed almost
ten   months     ago,     the       clerk       of    the   underlying         court
(“TCTDC     Clerk”)        had           been        refusing      to      perform
ministerial duties.                 See ¶ 7 of Appellant’s initial
brief    and   see      also        p.   16      of   initial      brief       under
“certification”.          The TCTDC Clerk refused to respond to
Hunter’s telephone calls and faxes sent in which Hunter
asked for, among other things, an itemization of record
activity.      See        p.        16     of        initial      brief        under
“certification”.

  Paragraphs 10 and 12 of Hunter’s initial brief are
not supported by the record in the underlying court.
And this is significant to this appeal. There is no
document    in     the    underlying             record     that      shows    that
Hunter’s    underlying          cause         was     dismissed.        Yet,   this
appeal       seeks   reversal      of   the     underlying      court’s
dismissal, which does not exist.               Apparently, the TCTDC
Clerk mailed Hunter a document advising Hunter that her
cause was dismissed but did not enter that document in
the underlying record.           Therefore, the TCTDC Clerk only
caused Hunter to believe that her underlying cause was
dismissed when it was not.

     Hunter received a document from the TCTDC Clerk that
gave Hunter the false impression that her lawsuit was
dismissed. See ¶¶ 10, 12, and 13 of Hunter’s initial
brief.

     This is an appeal of the underlying court’s failure
to    hold    a   hearing   on    Hunter’s     Motion   To   Reinstate
(“MTR”). But the underlying record shows that the TCTDC
Clerk erroneously filed Hunter’s MTR as a “Notice of
Appeal” and did not present it to the judge as a motion.

     The foregoing facts are significant to this appeal.

WHEREFORE,        Appellant      asks   that     this   Court    grant
Hunter’s Motion To File            A Supplement To Appellant’s
Brief.

Respectfully Submitted,

/s/ Chase Carmen Hunter
