TEEL STYLES, Appellant
V.
CHILDREN’S MEDICAL CENTER, Appellee
On Appeal from the 160th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-20-11168
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Molberg, and Justice Smith
Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
Appellant filed her brief in this appeal on November 29, 2021. The brief did
not comply with rule 38.1 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure. Specifically,
appellant’s brief did not contain (1) a table of contents, (2) a concise statement of
the case, the proceedings or the trial court’s disposition, (3) a concise statement of
the facts supported by record references, (4) a succinct, clear, and accurate statement
of the arguments, (5) appropriate citations to authorities or to the record, or (6) a
proper certificate of compliance. See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.4(i)(3), 38.1(b), (d), (f)‒(i);
Bolling v. Farmers Branch Indep. Sch. Dist., 315 S.W.3d 893, 895‒96 (Tex. App.—
Dallas 2010, no pet.).
We notified appellant by letter dated December 9, 2021, informing her that
the brief did not satisfy the requirements of rule 38 and detailing each of the
deficiencies. We directed her to file an amended brief that complied with rule 38.1
by December 19, 2021. We cautioned appellant that failure to do so might result in
the dismissal of this appeal without further notice.
Appellant then filed a motion for an extension of time, which we granted,
making her amended brief due by January 7, 2022. To date, appellant has not filed
an amended brief, nor has she communicated further with the Court.
Under these circumstances, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1;
38.8; 42.3(b), (c).
