Opinion
Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas May 5, 2022
No. 04-21-00387-CV
Donald W. TAYLOR, Appellant
v.
Clark ASPY, Madison Preston and Naman Howell Smith & Lee, PLL, Appellees
From the 216th Judicial District Court, Gillespie County, Texas Trial Court No. 16670 Honorable N. Keith Williams, Judge Presiding
ORDER Sitting: Irene Rios, Justice Beth Watkins, Justice Liza A. Rodriguez, Justice
On May 2, 2022, this court received appellant’s brief. The brief violates the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure in that it: 1. does not contain an index of authorities with appropriate citations to page numbers, see TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(c); 2. does not contain a clear and concise argument with citations to legal authority, see TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(i); 3. does not contain an appendix including the necessary contents required by the Rules, see TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(k). We recognize appellant is acting pro se on appeal. But “a pro se litigant is held to the same standards as licensed attorneys and must comply with applicable laws and rules of procedure.” Strange v. Cont’l Cas. Co., 126 S.W.3d 676, 677 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2004, pet. denied). We therefore ORDER that the brief filed by the appellant is STRICKEN from our record. It is FURTHER ORDERED that appellant file an amended brief in compliance with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure no later than May 25, 2022 or this appeal will be dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.9, 42.3. _________________________________ Irene Rios, Justice
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said court on this 5th day of May, 2022.
