In The Court of Appeals Seventh District of Texas at Amarillo No. 07-16-00305-CV DAVID GONZALEZ, APPELLANT V. MADISON PARK, APPELLEE On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 3 Lubbock County, Texas Trial Court No. 2016-572,119; Honorable Judy C. Parker, Presiding May 19, 2017 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and PIRTLE, JJ. After receiving two extensions, appellant, David Gonzalez, proceeding pro se, filed his appellate brief with this court on January 11, 2017. On January 12, this court sent notice to Gonzalez that his brief does not include the contents required by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.1 and further notifying him that his noncompliant brief would be submitted for consideration if he failed to file a corrected brief by January 27. To date, Gonzalez has not filed any further correspondence with this Court. Review of Gonzalez’s brief reveals that he failed to comply with nearly all of the requirements of Rule 38.1.1 Gonzalez failed to cite authority or provide argument supporting his claims for relief resulting in waiver of his claims due to inadequate briefing.
