Dismiss; Opinion Filed October 28, 2015.
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-14-00657-CV
ANGELA NAILS, Appellant
V.
MARK FRELS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 160th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-13-15238
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] to the Court of Appeals.” Because appellant did not file an amended brief and the brief she
did file does not comply with our rules, we dismiss her appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.1,
42.3(c).
