Fort Worth, TX asked in Appeals / Appellate Law and Personal Injury for Texas

Q: Appealing 2nd COA District CourtTX, personal injury, gross negligence, denied pro-bono, a free appeals form? FW, TX

drink can contained what I believe was a metal washer, object lodged way back in throat, swallowed it then it raped my throat causing severe sleep deprivation. Defendants have conceded the incident and damaged throat etc. Due to SSDeprivation missed a response. Many errors by court which is an anti-prose court. I am a global environmentalist if more is needed

Taking damages from 4.5M to 11M so I need to know what to file for this too. It's a great case and I was a legal specialist years ago. Conspiracy which I believe can be proven that crosses the legal line. Willing to do 2M of 11M and I do not lose.

A: Handling an appeal requires the services of a skilled attorney with experience in appellate law. It is not something most individuals are capable of handling pro se. There is not a "free form." You will be expected to fully comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. You will be expected to file an appellate brief in proper with relevant authorities cited therein. You will be required to properly cite to the record every single fact upon which you rely to support your argument that the trial court erred in making its ruling. A typical appeal likely will cost $25,000-50,000; however, given the size of your damages if accurate, you may want to hire an appellate specialist and ask him/her to spend additional time researching and carefully crafting your appellate brief, so it might be worth it if it costs double the usual rate.

Given appellate deadlines, you should immediately interview and hire an attorney so your appeal is not dismissed because you miss a deadline.
