Linda J. Trezvant v. Steve Zamprelli and Kimberly Zamprelli

Appeal Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed November 18, 2021.

In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-21-00308-CV LINDA J. TREZVANT, Appellant V.

STEVE ZAMPRELLI AND KIMBERLY ZAMPRELLI, Appellees

On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No. 2 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1165967 MEMORANDUM OPINION

This is an appeal from a judgment signed May 26, 2021.1 The notice of appeal was filed May 25, 2021, and thus is deemed to have been filed on the same day as the judgment. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 27.1(a).

Although the notice of appeal was purported to be filed by pro se appellant Linda J. Trezvant both on her own behalf and on behalf of Michael Trezvant, who did not personally sign the notice of appeal, a pro se party cannot file a notice of appeal on behalf of another person. Paselk v. Rabun, 293 S.W.3d 600, 606 (Tex. App.—Texarkana 2009, no pet.). The court notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed as to Mr. Trezvant unless a response was filed on or before October 11, 2021, showing meritorious grounds for continuing the appeal as to him. No response was filed. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction as to Michael Trezvant.

As for Linda J. Trezvant, her brief was required to be filed on August 5, 2021. On October 5, 2021, Ms. Trezvant was warned that the appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution unless she filed a brief with this court before October 19, 2021. No brief was filed. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed as to Linda J. Trezvant for want of prosecution, thus fully resolving the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case because appellant failed to comply with notice from clerk requiring response or other action within specified time).
