V.

ROBERT SHEVCHUK, Appellee

On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 2 Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 2022-006860-2

Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Justice van Cleef MEMORANDUM OPINION

Aurora Settles filed a timely notice of appeal on April 2, 2024.1 The clerk’s record was

filed on May 2, 2024. Settles’s appellate brief was due in this Court on July 22, 2024. When

neither a brief nor a motion to extend time for filing same was received by August 1, 2024, this

Court advised Settles by letter that her brief was late. We also warned Settles that the failure to

file a brief by August 16, 2024, would subject this appeal to dismissal for want of prosecution.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c).

Settles did not respond to our communication and did not file an appellate brief. As a

result, this appeal is ripe for dismissal for want of prosecution. Consequently, pursuant to Rules

38.8 and 42.3 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, we dismiss this appeal for want of

prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c).
