Trial Court No. CV-2018-03814 Before Birdwell, Bassel, and Womack, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On August 2, 2019, we notified Romeo Amaonwu that the appellant's brief filed on August 1, 2019, is deficient, specifically listing the ways in which the brief does not comply with the rules of appellate procedure; in particular, it is entirely devoid of record citations and citation to authority. See Tex. R. App. P. 9.4(e), (i)(3), 38.1(a)-(b), (g), (i)-(k). We directed appellant to file an amended brief complying with the appellate rules no later than Monday, August 12, 2019, and warned appellant that the failure to do so could result in our striking the noncompliant brief and dismissing the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 9, 38.8(a)(1), 38.9(a), 42.3; 2nd Tex. App. (Fort Worth) Loc. R. 1. Appellant has not responded to our letter and has not filed a compliant brief.
Because appellant has failed to file a compliant amended brief despite being given the opportunity to do so, we strike appellant's brief and dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 38.9(a), 42.3(b), 43.2(f).
