GREGORY T. JOSEFSBERG, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the County Criminal Court at Law No. 9 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1816811

ORDER

Appellant’s brief was filed November 9, 2012. The court has determined that appellant has not substantially complied with Rule 9 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. In particular, appellant’s brief does not contain appellant’s signature. See Tex. R. App. P. 9.1; see also Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] Loc. R. 4(f) (governing signatures on electronically filed documents). The brief also fails to include a certificate of service. See Tex. R. App. P. 9.5(d)-(e). In addition, the brief is not double-spaced. See Tex. R. App. P. 9.4(d). Accordingly, pursuant to Rules 9.4(i) and 38.9(a), the court STRIKES appellant’s brief filed November 9, 2012, and orders appellant to file a corrected brief conforming to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 9 and 38 on or before December 7, 2012. See Tex. R. App. P. 9.4(i), 38.9(a). If the corrected brief is filed after December 1, 2012, the new requirements set out in the amendments to Rule 9 concerning the length of briefs must be followed. See Tex. R. App. P. 9.4(i) (eff. Dec. 1, 2012) (limiting computer-generated briefs to 15,000 words and requiring a certificate stating the number of words in the document).
