                    PHYLLIS NOBLES MOSELEY, Appellee

                On Appeal from the 303rd Judicial District Court
                             Dallas County, Texas

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
                    Before Justices Reichek, Nowell, and Carlyle
                             Opinion by Justice Nowell
      Appellant filed his brief in this appeal on October 7, 2021. The brief did not

comply with rule 38.1 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure. Among other things,

appellant’s three-page brief did not contain citations to the record, did not contain

citations to authority, and did not contain any legal argument specifying how the

trial court erred and why this Court should reverse the trial court’s judgment. We

notified appellant by letter that his brief was deficient and directed him to file an

amended brief that complied with rule 38.1 within ten days. We cautioned appellant

that failure to do so might result in the dismissal of this appeal without further notice.

To date appellant has failed to do so.
      Appellee has now filed a motion to dismiss the appeal, relying in part, on

appellant’s failure to file a brief compliant with rule 38.1. We grant appellee’s

motion and dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1; 38.8; 42.3 (b)(c).
