        The style has been modified from that used in the trial court to reflect the
trial court’s severance of part of the cause and to explicitly reference any
property formerly globally referred to as “All Property Listed on Exhibits ‘A’ & ‘B’”
that remains in this cause after severance.

                                        ----------

      On January 11, 2012, we notified Appellant Raul Ramirez that his brief did

not comply with rules 6.3, 9.4(h), and 38.1(a), (b), (c), (d), (f), (g), (h), (i), and (k)

of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure,3 nor did it comply with subsections A

and E of this court’s local appellate rule 1.4 We allowed Appellant until January

23, 2012 to file an amended brief that complied with the above rules. We stated

in our letter to Appellant that his failure to timely file an amended brief in

compliance with the above rules could result in the waiver of noncomplying

points, our striking his brief, or the dismissal of his appeal.5           We received

Appellant’s amended brief on January 26, 2012, but it too was noncompliant.

      Accordingly, on January 30, 2012, we notified Appellant that his amended

brief did not comply with rules 6.3, 9.4(h), and 38.1(d), (g), (i), and (k) of the

Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure,6 nor did it comply with subsection E of this

court’s local appellate rule 1.7 We allowed Appellant until March 1, 2012 to file a

second amended brief that complied with the above rules. We stated in our letter

to Appellant that his failure to timely file a second amended brief in compliance

with the above rules could result in the waiver of noncomplying points, our

striking his brief, or the dismissal of his appeal.8 On March 5, 2012, this court

received Appellant’s second amended brief. It remains noncompliant.9

      Accordingly, we strike Appellant’s brief and dismiss this appeal for want of

prosecution.10
