----------
MEMORANDUM OPINION1
----------
On July 7, 2015, Appellant Billy Wayne Green filed a notice of appeal of
the trial court’s June 9, 2015 protective order. After Appellant filed his brief, we
notified him that his brief did not comply with rule of appellate procedure 38.1(a),
(c), (d), (g), (h), (i), and (k); rule of appellate procedure 9.4(i); rule of appellate
procedure 9.9; and local rule 7. See Tex. R. App. P. 9.4(i), 9.9, 38.1(a), (c), (d),
1
See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
(g), (h), (i), (k); 2nd Tex. App. (Fort Worth) Loc. R. 7. We informed Appellant that
unless he filed an amended brief that complied with the above rules by
November 5, 2015, we could strike his brief, waive his noncomplying points, or
dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 9, 38; 2nd Tex. App. (Fort Worth) Loc.
R. 1, 7; see also Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.
Instead of filing an amended brief, on November 9, 2015, Appellant filed a
response to our letter suggesting how this court should construe his original brief.
Appellant’s response does not bring his brief into conformity with the
requirements of the rules of appellate procedure. Therefore, we strike his brief
and dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a), 38.9(a), 42.3, 43.2(f).
