PANEL D

JULY 19, 2011

IN THE MATTER OF J.S.R., A CHILD

 FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW OF MOORE COUNTY;

NO. 1455; HONORABLE DELWIN T. MCGEE, JUDGE

Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and PIRTLE, JJ.

ORDER

            Appellant, J.S.R., filed an appeal from an order of disposition finding he engaged in delinquent conduct and committing him to the Texas Youth Commission. Appellant filed an appellate brief but it did not comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.  It was not properly signed by appointed counsel, and it did not contain a redacted appendix as required by the rules.  See Tex. R. App. P. 9.8; 38.1(k).  By letter dated June 9, 2011, we directed appellant to file a corrected brief.

On June 14, appellant filed an amended brief, signed by appointed counsel.  But the amended brief did not correct the second deficiency because it did not contain a redacted appendix.  On June 16, we again notified appellant of the deficiency by letter, giving appellant a deadline of June 27 to supplement the brief to correct the deficiency. We have received no response to our June 16 letter, as of the date of this order.

Accordingly, appellant is directed to supplement the appellant’s brief by filing an original and five copies of a redacted appendix meeting the requirements of Rules 9.8 and 38.1(k).  See Tex. R. App. P. 9.8; 38.1(k).  Appellant is directed to file the redacted appendix so as to be received by the Clerk of the Court no later than 5:00 p.m. on August 3, 2011.  If appellant does not file a proper appendix by that date, the Court will consider further action to enforce this Order, which may include an order to show cause.

It is so ordered.
