[1]Counsel’s discussion of the relief sought in this appeal appears to seek relitigation of the division of property, based on allegations that appellee lied or misstated facts at trial and that the trial court erred in determining where a particular sum of money had been deposited.  The discussion is not directed at the issue stated in the brief.  The brief also contains no argument directed at the stated issue and no citation to any supporting authority, in violation of Rule 38 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.  See Tex. R. App. P. 38.
