LEDARRE V. ZIEGLER, Appellant v. REGIONS BANK DBA REGIONS MORTGAGE, Appellee
On Appeal from County Civil Court at Law No. 1 Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1066882
ORDER
On April 10, 2017, appellant filed a brief that is not in compliance with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. The brief does not contain:
• a list of all parties to the judgment and the names and address of their trial and appellate counsel;
• a table of contents;
• an index of authorities;
• a statement regarding oral argument;See Tex. R. App. P. 38.1(a), (b), (c), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), and (k).
• a statement of the issues presented;
• a statement of facts (the numbered paragraphs in the Factual Background section appear to be a statement of the case);
• a summary of the argument;
• a clear and concise argument for the contentions made, with appropriate citations to authorities and the record; or
• the contents required to be in the appendix.
Accordingly, we order appellant's brief April 10, 2017, STRICKEN. Appellant is ordered to file a brief that complies with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure or seek an extension of time to file such a brief by April 24, 2017. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.9(a).
If appellant files another brief that does not comply with Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 38.1, 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 or seek an extension to file such a brief by April 24, 2017, the appeal will be dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1).
