On January 5, 2016, appellee, Kerry Lea Keels Chief Clerk, Harris County Justice Court Precinct 5, Place 1, filed a Motion to Require Appellant to Rebrief. Appellant’s brief violates the formal requirements set forth in TEX. R. APP.

Therefore, the Court orders the brief redrawn. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.9(a). If appellant’s redrawn brief does not comply with TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1, the Court may strike the brief, prohibit appellant from filing another brief, and proceed as if appellant had failed to file a brief, i.e., dismiss appellant’s appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a), 38.9(a). The final deadline for appellant to file a redrawn brief is 30 days from the date of this order. If appellant fails to timely comply, the Court may dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution without further notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), 38.9(a), 38.8(a). It is so ORDERED.
