Karen EICH, Appellant v. Evan PORRAS, Appellee


From the 285th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2021-CI-14945 Honorable Antonia Arteaga, Judge Presiding

ORDER

Rebeca C Martinez, Chief Justice.

Appellee filed his brief on June 27, 2024. The brief lacks citations to authorities. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(I). IT ALSO CONTAINS INADEQUATE LINE SPACING. See id. 9.4(d).

This court may make any order necessary for satisfactory submission of the case if it finds substantive defects in a brief. Id. R. 38.9(b). Therefore, we STRIKE Appellee's brief and ORDER Appellee to file an amended brief due on or before August 5, 2024. The amended brief must correct all the violations listed above and fully comply with the applicable rules. See, e.g., id. R. 38.1.

If the amended brief does not comply with this order, we may STRIKE Appellee's brief and set this cause for submission without an appellee's brief. See Jackson v. Tex. Bd. of Pardons &Paroles, No. 01-03-00862-CV, 2008 WL 921035, at *1 n.2 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st Dist.] Apr. 3, 2008, no pet.) (mem. op.) ("'In a civil case, the court will accept as true the facts stated [in the appellant's brief] unless another party contradicts them.'" (alteration in original) (quoting Tex.R.App.P. 38.1(g))).
