FROM COUNTY
COURT AT LAW NO. 2 OF TARRANT COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION[1]
 
------------
          Appellant Jimmie L. Billingsley filed a
notice of appeal from the county court’s judgment assessing $9,800 for the
value of his condemned property interest.  He filed his brief on August 12,
2011.
          On August 15, 2011, we sent Billingsley a
letter indicating that upon pre-submission screening, we had determined that
his brief did not comply with rule of appellate procedure 38.1.[2] 
See Tex. R. App. P. 38.1.  We informed Billingsley that failure to file
an amended brief complying with the above rules by August 25, 2011, might
result in striking the brief, waiver of noncomplying points, or dismissal of
the appeal.  See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a), 38.9(a), 42.3.  As of
September 12, 2011, Billingsley has failed to file an amended brief. 
Therefore, we strike his brief filed August 12, 2011, and we dismiss the appeal. 
See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a), 38.9(a), 42.3, 43.2(f).
