Terry Glenn Averett v. Huffman Independent School District
ORDER Trial court case number: 2018-52469 Trial court: 246th District Court of Harris County
On August 26, 2019, appellant, Terry Glenn Averett, filed his appellant's brief. Appellant's brief, however, does not conform to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.1. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(a)-(k); see also Wheeler v. Green, 157 S.W.3d 439, 444 (Tex. 2005) (pro se litigant is "not exempt from the rules of procedure").
Accordingly, we strike appellant's brief filed August 26, 2019. Appellant is directed to file an amended brief that complies with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.1. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(a)-(k). Appellant's amended brief is due to be filed with this Court no later than 30 days from the date of this order. See id. 38.6(a).
If appellant fails to file an amended brief that conforms to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.1 as ordered, the appeal may be dismissed for want of prosecution or failure to comply with a requirement of the rules of appellate procedure or an order of this Court. See id. 38.8(a), 38.9, 42.3.
It is so ORDERED. Judge's signature: /s/ Julie Countiss
