BRIEFS All briefs, in both civil and criminal cases, must conform to Rules 9 and 38 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. … All briefs must also meet the following requirements, unless the court, upon motion, permits an exception to the rules: … The front cover of the brief must (1) be addressed to the Court of Appeals for the Second District of Texas and (2) identify the presiding judge and the trial court from which the appeal is taken, for example, "Appeal from the [number] District Court, [name] County, Texas, the Hon. [name] presiding." B. … All other briefs of the parties must be accompanied by a motion for leave to file, unless the brief is requested by the court. … Letter briefs must be addressed to the clerk and refer to the style and number of the case. … They must be double-spaced, except for the address to the clerk. … Motions to extend the filing dates for briefs will not be granted except upon a reasonable explanation of the need for an extension. … Whenever a party raises an issue in a brief that requires the court to view a video or audio recording or physical exhibit, the party must file in this court a motion to supplement the appellate record with the recording or exhibit when the party files its brief if the party did not designate the exhibit to be included in the reporter's record. … If the parties agree to file a joint appendix under Rule 34.5a(c), such an agreed joint appendix must be filed at the same time as the appellant's brief. … Because a Rule 34.5a appendix must be filed separately from any other document, it must satisfy the certificate requirements of Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.5(e). … The appendix must contain a cover page that includes (i) the case style; … Each Rule 34.5a appendix must contain an index immediately following the cover page. … The index must be in chronological order from the earliest to the latest date that a pleading contained in the appendix was filed with a court clerk or that an order was signed. … The appendix pages must be sequentially numbered. … For each document included in the appendix, the index must separately list such document and identify it by (i) the verbatim title of the pleading or order (or by other information sufficient to identify the document if it is not a pleading or order), (ii) the file-mark date of the document or the date of an order's signature, and (iii) a listing of the number within the appendix's sequence of documents where the first page of the included document is found. … The appendix must be electronically bookmarked for each document contained in the appendix. … The index listing of any document filed by the parties' agreement pursuant to Rule 34.5a(c) must contain a notation that it is being filed pursuant to that subsection, and such agreed document(s) must appear in the appendix after documents filed with a court clerk. … For an electronically filed appendix in lieu of a clerk's record, the appendix must comply with the e-filing requirements of Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.4(j). … An unrepresented party not filing an appendix electronically must include an index that meets this subsection's requirements. … An appendix in lieu of a clerk's record must comply with (i) the requirements for the protection of a minor's identity contained in Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.8, (ii) the privacy protection for documents filed in civil cases contained in Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.9, and (iii) Local Rule 7. … The party filing the appendix must also follow any other redaction requirement imposed under Texas or federal law. …
