Dismiss and Opinion Filed February 23, 2022
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-20-00921-CV
PATRICK ECHOLS, Appellant
V.
MIKE CALHOUN, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 4
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. CC-20-01089-D
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Schenck, Molberg, and Pedersen, III
Opinion by Justice Molberg
Appellant Patrick Echols, appearing pro se, filed a half-page, single spaced
brief that fails to comply with the rules of appellate procedure. See TEX. R. APP. P.
38.1. Significantly, and among other failures, the brief does not contain (1) a concise
statement of the nature of the case, the course of proceedings, and the trial court’s
disposition of the case supported by record references, (2) a concise statement of all
issues or points presented for review, (3) a concise statement of the facts pertinent
to the issues or points presented, supported by record references; (4) a clear and
concise argument for the contentions made, with appropriate citations to authorities
and to the record, or (5) a short conclusion that clearly states the nature of the relief
sought. See id. 38.1(d), (f), (g), (i), (j). On January 27, 2021, we directed appellant
to file within ten days an amended brief in compliance with the rules and cautioned
that failure to comply could result in dismissal of the appeal. Despite our direction,
appellant has not filed an amended brief. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See
TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 38.9(a), 42.3(b), (c).
