MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Silva and Peña Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Contreras

This matter is before the Court on its own motion, as appellant has failed to file a

brief. Appellant’s brief was originally due to be filed on or before May 30, 2023. On June 23, 2023, we granted the withdrawal of appellant’s counsel and instructed appellant that

her brief was now due to be filed on or before July 28, 2023.

On August 10, 2023, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that her brief was

past due and that, pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.8(a)(1), the appeal

was subject to dismissal for want of prosecution unless, within ten days, appellant

provided reasonable explanation for the failure to timely file a brief. See TEX. R. APP. P.

38.8(a)(1).

Appellant has neither reasonably explained the failure to file a motion for extension

of time nor filed her brief. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution.

See id. R. 42.3(b), (c).
