Narrative Opinion Summary
The appeal filed by George Anthony Pickrell against Lori Gail Pickrell has been dismissed due to noncompliance with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. Specifically, Pickrell failed to file a required docketing statement by the deadline of November 10, 2009, which was necessary to perfect the appeal. After a notice was sent on November 13, 2009, reminding him of this requirement, a second notice was issued on December 2, 2009, indicating the docketing statement was overdue and warning that failure to file by December 14, 2009, would result in dismissal. Pickrell did not respond to these notices or submit the required document. Consequently, the court dismissed the appeal as per Rule 42.3 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. The opinion was delivered on December 16, 2009, by a panel including Chief Justice Worthen and Justices Griffith and Hoyle.
