3. does not contain an index of authorities, see TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(c);
4. does not contain a statement of the case, see TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(d);

9. does not contain clear and concise argument with citations to legal authority, see TEX.
R. APP. P. 38.1(i);
10. does not contain a short conclusion clearly stating the nature of the relief sought,
see TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(j);
11. does not contain an appendix including the necessary contents required by the Rules,
see TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(k);
12. does not comply with the form requirements for briefs, see TEX. R. APP. P. 9.4; and

It is therefore ORDERED that the brief filed by the appellant is STRICKEN from our

Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure no later than January 19, 2022 or this appeal will be
dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.9, 42.3.
