Narrative Opinion Summary
An appeal was filed by Laurie Poe against Omni Flow Computers, Inc., originating from a judgment signed on June 23, 2015. The notice of appeal was due on July 23, 2015, but was filed late on August 5, 2015. Since the notice was submitted within 15 days of the due date, a motion for an extension of time to file is implied per Texas law. However, Poe did not formally file a motion for this extension and is required to provide a reasonable explanation for the late filing. The court has ordered Poe to submit a proper motion for extension within 10 days from the date of the order. Failure to comply will result in the dismissal of the appeal.
