Theodist R. Thomas v. C & C Residential Properties

Summary

This document is the appellee's motion to dismiss an appeal for failure to prosecute in a Texas forcible detainer case. C & C Residential Properties argues that Theodist Thomas failed to pay or arrange payment for the clerk's record, failed to respond to court notices, and failed to ensure that the reporter's record was filed. The appellee alternatively requests affirmance of the trial court's possession judgment and an award of costs.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the appeal should be dismissed for want of prosecution because the appellant failed to comply with appellate-court notices and failed to secure preparation and filing of the appellate record.
2. Whether the appellate court should alternatively affirm the County Court's judgment in the forcible detainer proceeding.
