On Appeal from the 281st District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2021-23488
ORDER
On June 3, 2026, appellant filed a brief that is not in compliance with the
Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. The brief fails to comply with the rules by
failing to contain a Statement of Facts. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.1(g).
Accordingly, we order appellant’s brief filed June 3, 2026 stricken.
Appellant is 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.
Appellee may file an amended brief within 20 days from the date that appellant’s

2
brief is filed.
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), 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, 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).
