On Appeal from the 434th Judicial District Court Fort Bend County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 19-DCV-268031

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

On September 8, 2021, appellants filed a brief that is not in compliance with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. The brief fails generally to comply with the rules. See Tex.R.App.P. 38.1(a), (b), (c), (e), (f), (h), (i), (j) and (k).

Accordingly, we order appellant's brief filed September 8, 2021, stricken. Appellants are ordered to file a brief that complies with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure within ten (10) days of the date of this order. See Tex.R.App.P. 38.1(a), (b), (c), (e), (f), (h), (i), (j) and (k). 1

If appellants file another brief that does not comply with Rule 38, the Court may strike the brief, prohibit appellants from filing another, and proceed as if appellants 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 appellants fail to timely file a brief in accordance with Rule 38, the appeal will be dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex.R.App.P. 38.8(a)(1). 2
