Herbert Lawrence POLINARD , Jr.,

Appellant

v.

Jo Ann KARAMBIS , Margaret Comparin Karambis, Ronaldo Dunagan, Lynda C. Spence, and

eXp Realty LLC,

Appellees

From the 166th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas

Trial Court No. 2018-CI-11887

Honorable Antonia Arteaga, Judge Presiding

O R D E R

Because it appeared the notice of appeal was potentially untimely filed, we ordered

appellant to show cause in writing by September 10, 2021, why this appeal should not be

dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant responded with a reasonable explanation for failing

to file the notice of appeal in a timely manner. See T EX . R. A PP . P. 26.3, 10.5(b)(1)(C); Verburgt

v. Dorner , 959 S.W.2d 615, 617 (Tex. 1997). Accordingly, we deem the notice of appeal timely

filed and retain the appeal on the docket of this court.

Appellant’s brief remains due on or before September 24, 2021. Appellant’s brief must

comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See T EX . R. A PP . P. 9.1, 9.4, 9.5, 9.9, 38.1.

Among other requirements, appellant’s brief must contain appropriate citations to authorities and

must contain proper record citations to any documents referenced in the brief. See id. R. 34.1,

38.1(g), (i). This court will not consider any documents included in an appendix to appellant’s

brief that are not contained in the clerk’s record. See Blank v. State , 172 S.W.3d 673, 675 n.1

(Tex. App.—San Antonio 2005, no pet.) (not designated for publication).
