Affirm and Opinion Filed March 3, 2023

                                    S   In The
                             Court of Appeals
                      Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
                                No. 05-21-00838-CV

                        CHERYL YOUNG, Appellant

                     DALLAS COUNTY ET AL., Appellees

                On Appeal from the 44th Judicial District Court
                            Dallas County, Texas
                     Trial Court Cause No. TX-19-01116

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
                 Before Justices Molberg, Pedersen, III, and Miskel
                             Opinion by Justice Miskel
      Cheryl Young appeals pro se from a default judgment in favor of several local

government entities. Young presents a general plea for assistance and fair treatment

from the court system. However, unfortunately, Young’s brief lacks any of the

required content for an appellant’s brief, including a list of issues, any discussion of

the facts of the case, or any legal reasoning. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1.

      An appellant’s brief must concisely state all issues presented for review and

must contain a clear, concise argument for the contentions made, with appropriate

citations to authorities and to the record. In re S.V., 599 S.W.3d 25, 41 (Tex. App.—
Dallas 2017, pet. denied). We may not make a party’s argument for her. Id. “Bare

assertions of error, without argument or authority, waive any error.” Id.

      Because Young’s brief is inadequate, the appellate rules prevent us from

considering the substance of her case. We therefore affirm the trial court’s judgment.
