HERBERT HARRIS AND MERENTHIA HARRIS, Appellants v. SRP TRS SUB, LLC, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 5 Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. CC-17-03732-E
ORDER
Before the Court is appellants' January 17, 2018 motion to extend time to file brief. The motion was filed after we notified appellants the brief the Clerk of the Court received January 8, 2018 was not filed because it was tendered after the due date. In the notice, we directed appellants to file an extension motion.
We GRANT the motion and ORDER the brief received January 8th filed as of the date of this order. We note, however, the brief fails to comply with the requirements of Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.1. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.1. Specifically, the brief does not contain a table of contents, a clear and concise argument for the contentions made with appropriate citations to the record and authorities, certificates of service and compliance, or an appendix with the required items. See id. 9.4(i)(3), 9.5(e)(2),(3), 38.1(b),(i),(k). Further the sections in the brief titled "statement of the case" and "statement of facts" do not include citations to the record. See id. 38.1(d),(g). Accordingly, we ORDER appellants to file an amended brief that complies with the requirements of appellate rule 38.1 no later than February 1, 2018. We caution appellants that failure to comply may result in the appeal being dismissed without further notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b),(c).
