RONALD DUNCAN, Appellant v. MEMORIAL HERMAN HOSPITAL SYSTEM, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Court at Law No 5
Montgomery County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 12-05-05767-CV
ORDER
On April 19, 2013, appellant filed a brief that is not in compliance with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. The brief fails generally to comply with the rules. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.1(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j) and (k).
Accordingly, we order appellant's brief filed April 19, 2013, stricken. Appellant is ordered to file a brief that complies with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure within ten (10) days of the date of this order. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.1(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j) and (k).
If appellant files another brief that does not comply with Rule 38, the Court may strike the brief, prohibit appellant from filing another, and proceed as if appellant had failed to file a brief. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.9(a). Pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.8(a), where an appellant has failed to file a brief, we may dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. If appellant fails to timely file a brief in accordance with Rule 38, the appeal will be dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1).
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Boyce, Jamison and Busby.
