Opinion

In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-20-00319-CV ___________________________

ANGELA CASTILLO, Appellant

V.

ARTURO MORENO, Appellee

On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 1 Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 2020-005357-1

Before Walker, J.; Sudderth, C.J.; and Kerr, J. Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT

On March 8, 2021, we notified appellant Angela Castillo that her brief had not

been filed as required. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). We stated that we could dismiss

the appeal for want of prosecution unless Castillo, no later than March 18, filed an

appellant’s brief and an accompanying motion reasonably explaining the brief’s

untimely filing and the need for an extension. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b)(1),

38.8(a)(1), 42.3, 44.3. Castillo did not respond.

Because Castillo has failed to file a brief even after we afforded an opportunity

to explain the initial failure, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex.

R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), 43.2(f).
