Opinion issued August 25, 2026 In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-25-00778-CV ——————————— RAMESH SAWLANI, Appellant V. LAKENDRA COFFMAN-HARPER, Appellee On Appeal from the Civil Court at Law No. 3 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 1250283 MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant Ramesh Sawlani, proceeding pro se, filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s final judgment dated August 25, 2025. We dismiss the appeal. On January 8, 2026, this Court informed Sawlani that his brief did not comply with Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.1, which lists the required components of an appellant's brief. We struck the brief and afforded Sawlani an opportunity to file a corrected brief. We advised Sawlani that if his corrected brief did not comply with the Rules of Appellate Procedure, we could strike his corrected brief, prohibit him from filing another, proceed as if he had failed to file a brief, and dismiss the appeal. See Tyurin v. Hirsch & Westheimer, P.C., No. 01 17 00014 CV, 2017 WL 4682191, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] Oct. 19, 2017, no pet.) (mem. op.). Sawlani’s corrected brief does not provide a concise statement of the issues presented for review; a concise statement, without argument, of the facts pertinent to the issues presented; a succinct and clear summary of his arguments on appeal; or “a clear and concise argument for the contentions made, with appropriate citations to authorities and to the record.” See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(d), (f), (g), (h), (i). When, as here, an appellant files a brief that does not comply with the rules and then files a corrected brief that also does not comply, the court may strike the brief, prohibit the appellant from filing another, and proceed as if the appellant had failed to file a brief. Tyurin, 2017 WL 4682191, at *2. When an appellant fails to file a brief, we may dismiss his appeal for want of prosecution. TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1). Accordingly, we strike Sawlani’s appellant’s 2 brief, filed on February 20, 2026, and dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), 43.2(f). PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Guerra, Gunn, and Morgan. 3
