ANGELA NAILS, Appellant v. MARK FRELS, Appellee


On Appeal from the 160th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-13-15238

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Fillmore, and Justice Stoddart
Opinion by Justice Stoddart

Appellant, acting pro se, filed a brief in this case on September 17, 2014. The Court sent a letter to appellant on October 6, 2014, and advised her that her brief did not satisfy the requirements of Rule 38 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. The letter listed multiple deficiencies with appellant's brief. The letter also informed appellant that her appeal might be dismissed without further notice if she failed to file an amended brief complying with our rules.

Rather than filing an amended brief, appellant sent a letter to the Court stating: "I will not be updating my brief into an amended brief. . . . I want the court to use the brief already mail [sic] to the Court of Appeals." Because appellant did not file an amended brief and the brief she did file does not comply with our rules, we dismiss her appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.1, 42.3(c).
