ORDER
MOLLY FRANCIS, Justice.
The Court has before it appellant Chan Il Pak's opposed first motion for extension of time to file an amended brief. Pak is a pro se litigant in this matter. The motion, however, is signed by Min W. Pak as "Attorney-in-Fact" for Pak. Min W. Pak does not appear to be a licensed attorney in Texas. A litigant may represent himself or may be represented by counsel in proceedings before this Court. Guerrero v. Memorial Turkey Creek, Ltd., No. 01-09-00237-CV, 2011 WL 3820841, at *2 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st Dist.] Aug. 25, 2011, no pet.) (mem. op.); see TEX. R. APP. P. 9.1 ("A party not represented by counsel must sign any document that the party files. . . ."). Because Pak may only represent himself or be represented by licensed counsel, we STRIKE the motion without prejudice to Pak refiling a motion within seven days that complies with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.
