PETER J. RUTTER, APPELLEE § CHEROKEE COUNTY, TEXAS

MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM

This appeal is being dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b). Brandi Collins Mason filed her pro se notice of appeal on April 3, 2024. The clerk’s record was filed on June 11, the reporter’s record was filed on June 13, and Collins’s brief was due on or before July 11. We granted Collins’s motion for extension to August 12. On August 19, this Court notified Collins that her brief was past due. We further notified Collins that the appeal may be dismissed for want of prosecution unless a motion for extension of time, containing a reasonable explanation for the failure to file a brief and showing that Appellee has not suffered material injury thereby, is filed no later than August 22. This deadline expired and Collins did not file a brief, a motion for extension of time, or other response to this Court’s notice. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX.
