Fourth Court of Appeals
                                  San Antonio, Texas
                                         January 9, 2023

                                      No. 04-22-00396-CR

                               Juan DE LOS SANTOS-SALAS,
                                         Appellant

                                                v.

                                     The STATE of Texas,
                                           Appellee

                  From the 399th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                                Trial Court No. 2020CR0415
                          Honorable Frank J. Castro, Judge Presiding

                                         ORDER
         Appellant’s brief originally was due on November 3, 2022. Appellant was granted two
extensions, the latest until January 4, 2023. On January 5, 2023, appellant’s appointed attorney,
Ms. Nancy Knox-Bierman, filed a brief that violates Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.1 in
that it either contains no citations to the record or the citations are incorrect because they are
cites to the clerk’s record and not the reporter’s record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(d), (g), (i).
       It is therefore ORDERED that the brief filed by appellant is STRICKEN from our
record. It is FURTHER ORDERED that Ms. Knox-Bierman file an amended brief in
compliance with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure no later than January 19, 2023 or this
appeal will be subject to abatement to the trial court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b).
