Lane Moesser
Appellate case number: 01-16-00837-CV
Trial court case number: 2016-35154
Trial court: 190th District Court of Harris County
Appellants, Brown Lab Investments, LLC, Joel Katz and Andrea Katz have filed a
“Motion of Non-Resident Attorneys, Hal J. Wood and Richard Z. Wolf, For Admission
Pro Hac Vice.”
Pursuant to Rule XIX of the Rules Governing Admission to the Bar of Texas, if a
non-resident attorney seeks to participate in proceedings in Texas, “the non-resident
attorney shall file with the applicable Texas court a written, sworn motion requesting
permission to participate in a particular cause.” The motion filed by appellants was not
sworn. Moreover, the motion lacks a certificate of service and a certificate of conference.
See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.5, 10.1(a)(5).
Accordingly, we DENY appellant’s motion. Nevertheless, we will consider any
sworn motions for admission that comply with Rule XIX and the Texas Rules of Appellate
Procedure.
It is so ORDERED.
