                      On Appeal from the 160th Judicial District Court

                              MEMORANDUM OPINION
               Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Fillmore, and Justice Stoddart
                                  Opinion by Justice Stoddart
       Appellant, acting pro se, filed a brief in this case on September 17, 2014. The Court sent

a letter to appellant on October 6, 2014, and advised her that her brief did not satisfy the

requirements of Rule 38 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. The letter listed multiple

deficiencies with appellant's brief. The letter also informed appellant that her appeal might be

dismissed without further notice if she failed to file an amended brief complying with our rules.

       Rather than filing an amended brief, appellant sent a letter to the Court stating: "I will not

be updating my brief into an amended brief.... I want the court to use the brief already mail

!sic 1to the Court of Appeals." Because appellant did not file an amended brief and the brief she
