In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-22-00445-CV ___________________________

ANTHONY FLOYD, Appellant

V.

GATEWAY MORTGAGE GROUP, A DIVISION OF GATEWAY FIRST BANK, Appellee

On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 1 Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 2020-002015-1

Before Womack, Wallach, and Walker, JJ. Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT

On March 14, 2023, we notified appellant that his brief had not been filed as

the appellate rules require. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). We stated that we could

dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless, on or before March 24, 2023,

appellant filed with the court an appellant’s brief and an accompanying motion

reasonably explaining the brief’s untimely filing and why an extension was needed. See

Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b), 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b). We have received no response.

Because appellant 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).

Per Curiam
