SANE LOCKE, Appellant v. BRIARWOOD VILLAGE, Appellee


On Appeal from County Civil Court at Law No. 2 Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1086625

ORDER

On May 9, 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 of the case;

• a statement regarding oral argument;

• a statement of the legal issues presented;

• a summary of the argument;

• a clear and concise argument for the contentions made, with appropriate citations to authorities and the record;

• a conclusion that clearly states the nature of the relief sought; or

• the contents required to be in the appendix.
See Tex. R. App. P. 38.1(a), (b), (c), (d) (e), (f), (h), (i), (j), and (k).

Accordingly, we order appellant's brief filed on May 9, 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 June 12, 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 June 12, 2017, the appeal will be dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1).
