In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-20-00921-CV

PATRICK ECHOLS, Appellant V. MIKE CALHOUN, Appellee

On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 4 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. CC-20-01089-D

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Schenck, Molberg, and Pedersen, III Opinion by Justice Molberg

Appellant Patrick Echols, appearing pro se, filed a half-page, single spaced

brief that fails to comply with the rules of appellate procedure. See TEX. R. APP. P.

38.1. Significantly, and among other failures, the brief does not contain (1) a concise

statement of the nature of the case, the course of proceedings, and the trial court’s

disposition of the case supported by record references, (2) a concise statement of all

issues or points presented for review, (3) a concise statement of the facts pertinent

to the issues or points presented, supported by record references; (4) a clear and

concise argument for the contentions made, with appropriate citations to authorities and to the record, or (5) a short conclusion that clearly states the nature of the relief

sought. See id. 38.1(d), (f), (g), (i), (j). On January 27, 2021, we directed appellant

to file within ten days an amended brief in compliance with the rules and cautioned

that failure to comply could result in dismissal of the appeal. Despite our direction,

appellant has not filed an amended brief. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 38.9(a), 42.3(b), (c).
