Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas January 5, 2021 No. 04-20-00346-CV IN THE INTEREST OF J.V.O. AND J.R.O.

From the 166th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2015-CI-02697 Honorable Antonia Arteaga, Judge Presiding

ORDER Appellant filed a brief on December 31, 2020, and on January 4, 2021, appellant filed a motion to amend his brief. Appellant’s brief is materially deficient in that it does not contain a table of contents or index of authorities; neither the statement of the case nor the statement of facts is supported by record references; the argument does not contain appropriate citations to authorities and to the record; and the brief does not include an appendix. See TEX. R. APP. P.38.1(b), (c), (d), (g), (i), (k).

We grant the motion to amend the brief and order appellant to file an amended brief by January 18, 2021. If a timely amended brief that corrects these deficiencies is not filed, the court may strike the brief, prohibit appellant from filing another, and proceed as if appellant had failed to file a brief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.9(a), 38.8(a).
