Nancy S. Morrison v. Sheriff Wesley Crites, Deputy D.B. Marcolesco

Summary

This document is a letter brief and accompanying affidavit submitted by Wheeler County in the Texas Seventh Court of Appeals regarding Nancy S. Morrison’s attempted appeal from justice court. It argues that the appeal was not properly perfected or timely filed because Morrison did not file an appeal bond, cash deposit, or affidavit of inability to pay costs, and requests dismissal for want of jurisdiction.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the appeal from the justice court judgment was properly perfected when Morrison filed notices of appeal without an appeal bond, cash deposit, or affidavit of inability to pay costs.
2. Whether the appeal was untimely because the justice court's plenary power expired and no motion extending appellate deadlines was filed.

Disposition
