On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1 Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. 135,597 __________________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On October 14, 2020, the trial court signed a final judgment. Appellant Brad

Latimer filed a notice of appeal but failed to file a brief. On February 1, 2022, we

notified the parties that Appellant’s brief was past due and had not been filed and

the appeal would be submitted on the record alone unless we received a brief and

motion for extension of time by February 11, 2022, and we warned Appellant that

the failure to file a brief could result in dismissal of the appeal for want of

prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 39.8. Appellant has failed to file a brief.

1 In the absence of a brief assigning error for appellate review, we dismiss the

appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1); Tex. R. App. P.

42.3(b).

APPEAL DISMISSED.
