Adapted from the question:

Inside a tabular environment (non-math context), how to have only 1 curly bracket (e.g. only the left one) spanning multiple lines of text, please?

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}

\begin{document}

I don't want the right curly bracket,
$\left\{
\begin{tabular}{c}
list item 1 \\
list item 2 \\
list item 3
\end{tabular}
\right\}$
only the left one please.

\end{document}

Just change \right\} to \right.. (The "." immediately after \right stands for "nothing here".)

enter image description here

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{geometry}

\begin{document}

I'm getting a left-hand curly brace
$\left\{
\begin{tabular}{@{}c@{}}
list item 1 \\
list item 2 \\
list item 3
\end{tabular}
\right.$
and none on the right.

\end{document}

  • Really nice. I posted a follow-up question (for items within an Itemize environment) at http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/304741/how-to-have-curly-bracket-spanning-items-of-itemize, if interested. – O0123 Apr 17 '16 at 07:55
