MELISSA ROBINSON, Appellant v. DISRIE LEWIS AND CHARLIE PRICE, Appellees
On Appeal from the 302nd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-11-19513
ORDER
The clerk's record in this case was filed on April 19, 2016 and the reporter's record was filed on April 28, 2016, making appellant's brief due by May 28, 2016. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a). Our records indicate appellant filed her brief on April 15, 2016, before the record was complete. That brief does not satisfy the requirements of rules 9 and 38 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. Specifically, the brief is deficient as follows:
It does not contain a complete list of all parties to the trial courts' judgment or appealable order with the names and addresses of all trial and appellate counsel;
It does not contain a table of contents with references to the pages of the brief;
The table of contents does not indicate the subject matter of each issue or point, or group of issues or points;
It does not contain an index of authorities arranged alphabetically and indicating the pages of the brief where the authorities are cited;
It does not contain a concise statement of the case, the course of proceedings, and the trial court's disposition of the case supported by record references;
It does not concisely state all issues or points presented for review;
It does not contain a concise statement of the facts supported by record references;
It does not contain a succinct, clear, and accurate statement of the arguments made in the body of the brief;
The argument does not contain appropriate citations to authorities;
The argument does not contain appropriate citations to the record; and
It does not contain a proper certificate of service.
Appellant shall file an amended brief that complies with the rules of appellate procedure within THIRTY DAYS of the date of this order. Failure to do so may result in the dismissal of this appeal without further notice. See TEX. R. APP. P.38.8(a)(1), 42.(b),(c). Appellee's brief is due within SIXTY DAYS of the date of this order.
