                   From the 407th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                                Trial Court No. 2019-CI-21178
                          Honorable Karen H. Pozza, Judge Presiding

                                          ORDER
       After this court granted Appellee’s first motion for an extension of time to file the brief,
Appellee’s brief was due on September 18, 2020. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(b). To date,
Appellee has not filed the brief or a motion for extension of time to file the brief.
         If Appellee wishes to file a brief in this appeal, Appellee is hereby ORDERED to file
within TEN DAYS of the date of this order (1) Appellee’s brief and (2) a reasonable explanation
for failing to timely file the brief. See id. R. 38.6(d). If Appellee wishes the response to serve as
a motion for extension of time, the response must comply with Rule 10.5(b)(1) of the Texas
Rules of Appellate Procedure and the Fourth Court of Appeals’ local rules. See id. R. 10.5(b)(1);
4TH TEX. APP. (SAN ANTONIO) LOC. RS., http://www.txcourts.gov/4thcoa/practice-before-the-
court/ local-rules.aspx.
        If Appellee fails to file an adequate response within TEN DAYS of the date of this order,
the appeal will be set for submission without Appellee’s brief. See Jackson v. Tex. Bd. of
Pardons & Paroles, No. 01-03-00862-CV, 2008 WL 921035, at *1 n.2 (Tex. App.—Houston
[1st Dist.] Apr. 3, 2008, no pet.) (mem. op.) (“‘In a civil case, the court will accept as true the
facts stated [in Appellant’s brief] unless another party contradicts them.’” (alteration in original)
(quoting TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(g))).
