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, did 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").
On November 14, 2019, the Court struck appellant's brief filed August 26, 2019 and ordered appellant to file an amended brief that complies with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.1 on or before December 16, 2019. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(a)-(k). On November 18, 2019, appellant provided the Court with a new mailing address. To date, appellant has not filed an amended brief with this Court.
As appellant provided a new address to the Court after the day the order issued, the Court orders appellant to file an amended brief 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
