On June 13, 2017, appellant filed a brief that does not comply with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure Rule 38.1. 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;See Tex. R. App. P. 38.1(a), (b), (c), (d) (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j), and (k).
• 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.
Accordingly, we order appellant's brief filed June 13, 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 July 20, 2017. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.9(a).
If appellant files another brief that does not comply with Texas Rule of Appellate 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 July 20, 2017, the court may take appropriate action, including dismissing the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1).
