                     Trial Court Cause No. DC-21-17509
                                   ORDER

      Before the Court is appellant’s motion for an extension of time to file his

brief on the merits. We GRANT the motion and ORDER the brief received

January 23, 2023 filed as of the date of this order.

      We note appellant’s brief does not satisfy the requirements of Rule 38 of the

Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. Specifically, the brief does not contain:

      •a complete list of all parties to the trial courts’ appealable order with
      the names and addresses of all trial and appellate counsel, see TEX. R.
      APP. P. 38.1(a);

      •a table of contents that indicates the subject matter of each issue or
      point, or group of issues or points and that references the pages of the
      brief, see id. 38.1(b);
      •an index of authorities arranged alphabetically and indicating the
      pages of the brief where the authorities are cited, see id. 38.1(c);

      •a concise statement of the nature of the case, the course of
      proceedings, and the trial court’s disposition of the case supported by
      record references, see id. 38.1(d);

      •a concise statement of all issues or points presented for review, see
      id. 38.1(f);

      •a concise statement of the facts supported by record references, see
      id. 38.1(g);

      •a succinct, clear, and accurate statement of the arguments made in the
      body of the brief, see id. 38.1(h);

      •appropriate citations to authorities and the record in the argument
      section, see id. 38.1(i);

      •an appendix that includes a copy of the appealable order from which
      relief is sought; the text of any rule, regulation, ordinance, statute,
      constitutional provision, or other law (excluding caselaw) on which
      argument is based; and the text of any contract or other document that
      is central to the argument, see id. 38.1(k); and,

      •a proper certificate of service, see id. 9.5(e).

Accordingly, we ORDER appellant to file an amended brief that complies with the

rules no later than February 6, 2023. We caution appellant that failure to

comply may result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice from the Court.

See id. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b),(c).
