ORDER
Before the Court are appellant’s August 6, 2018 motion for extension of time to file
notice of appeal and appellee’s August 15, 2018 motion to dismiss for want of jurisdiction. Both
were filed in response to our July 25, 2018 letter in which we informed the parties the appeal had
been filed late but within the fifteen-day grace period allowed under Texas Rule of Appellate
Procedure 26.3. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.3.
We GRANT the extension motion and DENY the motion to dismiss. See Verburgt v.
Dorner, 959 S.W.2d 615, 617 (Tex. 1997).
We note that by letter dated August 7, 2018, court reporter La Tresta Ginyard informed
us no record was taken in this case. Accordingly, as the clerk’s record has been filed, we
ORDER appellant’s brief be filed no later than September 17, 2018.
