In the Interest of O.M., J.M., and D.M., Children
On Appeal from the 233rd District Court Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 233-516858-12
Before Kerr, Birdwell, and Bassel, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Elizabeth Kerr Justice
On September 26, 2024, we received from pro se Appellant Father a document that we construed as an appellant's brief. The next day, we notified Appellant that his brief did not conform with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.4(i), 9.8, and 38.1(a)-(k) and with Second Court of Appeals Local Rules 1.A and 7. See Tex.R.App.P. 9.4(i), 9.8, 38.1(a)-(k); 2nd Tex.App. (Fort Worth) Loc. R. 1.A, 7. We directed Appellant to file an amended brief complying with those rules no later than October 7, 2024. See Tex.R.App.P. 9, 38; 2nd Tex.App. (Fort Worth) Loc. R. 1. We also warned him that if he did not do so, we could strike his noncompliant brief and dismiss the appeal. See Tex.R.App.P. 38.8(a), 38.9(a), 42.3. We have received no response.
Because Appellant has failed to file a rule-compliant amended brief after we afforded him an opportunity to do so, we strike his brief and dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex.R.App.P. 38.8(a)(1), 38.9(a), 42.3(b), 43.2(f).
