PATRICK ECHOLS, Appellant v. MIKE CALHOUN, Appellee


On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 4 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. CC-20-01089-D

Before Justices Schenck, Molberg, and Pedersen, III

MEMORANDUM OPINION

KEN MOLBERG, JUSTICE

Appellant Patrick Echols, appearing pro se, filed a half-page, single spaced brief that fails to comply with the rules of appellate procedure. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.1. Significantly, and among other failures, the brief does not contain (1) a concise statement of the nature of the case, the course of proceedings, and the trial court's disposition of the case supported by record references, (2) a concise statement of all issues or points presented for review, (3) a concise statement of the facts pertinent to the issues or points presented, supported by record references; (4) a clear and concise argument for the contentions made, with appropriate citations to authorities and to the record, or (5) a short conclusion that clearly states the nature of the relief sought. See id. 38.1(d), (f), (g), (i), (j). On January 27, 2021, we directed appellant to file within ten days an amended brief in compliance with the rules and cautioned that failure to comply could result in dismissal of the appeal. Despite our direction, appellant has not filed an amended brief. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 38.9(a), 42.3(b), (c).

JUDGMENT

In accordance with this Court's opinion of this date, the appeal is DISMISSED.

It is ORDERED that appellee MIKE CALHOUN recover his costs of this appeal from appellant PATRICK ECHOLS.
