Appellant, Marsha Bennett, has filed a motion for extension to file her corrected appellant’s brief, which was due on April 28, 2022. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5(b).

If appellant’s corrected brief does not comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, the Court may strike the corrected brief, prohibit appellant from filing another, proceed as if appellant has failed to file a brief, and dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 38.9(a), 42.3, 43.2(f); see, e.g., See Tucker v. Fort Worth W. R.R. Co., No. 02-19-00221-CV, 2020 WL 3969586, at *1 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth June 18, 2020, pet. denied) (mem. op.)
