Mary M. Rawls v. Jeffrey Clark Rawls

Opinion

COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON ORDER Appellate case name: Mary M. Rawls v. Jeffrey Clark Rawls Appellate case number: 01-13-00568-CV Trial court case number: 2007-61678 Trial court: 246th District Court of Harris County On February 24, 2014, the parties filed a Joint Motion for Disposition of Appeal by Settlement. As noted in our order dated February 27, 2014, the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure do not permit us to order a new trial on the agreement of the parties absent reversible error, or to vacate a judgment absent reversible error or a settlement. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1 & cmt. We denied the motion without prejudice to refiling to describe the basis for the parties’ contention that the trial court committed reversible error. However, the parties failed to refile the motion.

The joint motion states that Jeffrey Clark Rawls concedes that issues in Appellant’s brief have merit.

On October 29, 2014, we ordered Jeffrey Rawls to file a brief describing with particularity the issue in Appellant’s brief, if any, that he believes constitutes reversible error.

On the same day, we ordered the parties to participate in mediation. Because the parties have selected a mediator and scheduled mediation for December 16, 2014, Jeffrey Rawls need no longer file a brief.

It is so ORDERED.
