KYNA HILL, Appellant
V.
TACO BELL, Appellee
On Appeal from the 270th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Case No. 2012-29455
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, Kyna Hill, has filed a notice of appeal attempting to challenge the
trial court’s order dismissing her case for want of prosecution. The notice of
appeal, however, does not contain a certificate of service, an acknowledgment of
service, or other proof that a copy of the notice was served on the other party to the
trial court’s order. See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.5(d), 25.1(e).
On June 9, 2015, we notified appellant that the appeal might be dismissed
unless she provided proof of service on all parties. See id. 9.5(d), 42.3(c); Peña v.
McDowell, 201 S.W.3d 665, 667 (Tex. 2006) (failure to show proof of service of
notice of appeal on all parties proper ground for dismissal under Texas Rule of
Appellate Procedure 9.5(d)). Appellant failed to respond.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for failure to comply with a requirement
of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c); Hogg v.
Builders Capital, Ltd., No. 12-14-00307-CV, 2014 WL 6982946, at *1 (Tex.
App.—Tyler Dec. 10, 2014, no pet.) (mem. op.) (dismissing appeal for failure to
comply with rules 9.5 and 25.1(e)); Mancillas v. Mancillas, No. 01-10-00674-CV,
2012 WL 587134, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] Feb. 23, 2012, no pet.)
(mem. op.) (dismissing appeal for failure to comply with rule 9.5). We dismiss any
pending motions as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Jennings, Higley, and Brown.
