Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-21-00838-CV
CHERYL YOUNG, Appellant
V.
DALLAS COUNTY ET AL., Appellees
On Appeal from the 44th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. TX-19-01116
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Molberg, Pedersen, III, and Miskel
Opinion by Justice Miskel
Cheryl Young appeals pro se from a default judgment in favor of several local
government entities. Young presents a general plea for assistance and fair treatment
from the court system. However, unfortunately, Young’s brief lacks any of the
required content for an appellant’s brief, including a list of issues, any discussion of
the facts of the case, or any legal reasoning. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1.
An appellant’s brief must concisely state all issues presented for review and
must contain a clear, concise argument for the contentions made, with appropriate
citations to authorities and to the record. In re S.V., 599 S.W.3d 25, 41 (Tex. App.—
Dallas 2017, pet. denied). We may not make a party’s argument for her. Id. “Bare
assertions of error, without argument or authority, waive any error.” Id.Because Young’s brief is inadequate, the appellate rules prevent us from
considering the substance of her case. We therefore affirm the trial court’s judgment.
