Panel Consists of Justices Spain, Poissant, and Wilson.
ORDER
PER CURIAM
On July 1, 2022, 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 by failing to (1) state concisely all issues presented for review, (2) contain a succinct, clear, and accurate statement of the arguments made in the body of the brief, and (3) contain a clear and concise argument for the contentions made with appropriate citations to authorities and to the record. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.1(f), (h), and (i).
Accordingly, we strike appellant's brief filed July 1, 2022. Appellant is ordered to file a brief that complies with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure within fifteen (15) days of the date of this order. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.1.
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), when 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 subject to dismissal without further notice for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1); 42.3(b).
