WLSC INCOPRO, LLC, Appellant

V.

ADMIRAL INSURANCE COMPANY, Appellee

On Appeal from the 152nd District Court Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 2017-24459

ORDER

Appellant is not represented by counsel in this appeal. Rather, appellant is attempting to represent itself pro se through a corporate officer who is not an attorney. Except for the performance of ministerial tasks, corporations may appear and be represented only by a licensed attorney. Kunstoplast of Am., Inc. v. Formosa Plastics Corp., U.S.A., 937 S.W.2d 455, 456 (Tex. 1996); see also Dell Dev. Corp. v. Best. Indus. Uniform Sup. Co., 743 S.W.2d 302, 303 (Tex. App.— Houston [14th Dist.] 1987, writ denied).

Accordingly, we order appellant to retain counsel for this appeal and to provide proof of the retention on or before September 10, 2021. Appellant’s counsel will also need to file an amended notice of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.1(g). If appellant does not comply, the court will dismiss the appeal on its own motion for failure to comply with our order. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.1(b), 42.3(c).

PER CURIAM

Panel Consists of Justices Jewell, Spain, and Wilson.
