On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1 Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. 138293 __________________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On January 18, 2023, Brandi N. Smith appealed from a final judgment in Trial

Cause Number 138293. After perfecting her appeal, however, Smith failed to file a

brief.

On July 10, 2023, we notified the parties that Smith had not filed a brief and

that her appeal would be submitted without briefs unless, by July 20, 2023, we

received a brief in her appeal together with a motion to extend the time in which she

1 was allowed to file her brief. We also warned Smith that her appeal could be

dismissed for want of prosecution if her appeal were to be submitted without briefs.

On August 1, 2023, we notified the parties on August 22, 2023, the Court was

submitting the appeal without briefs and without oral argument. See Tex. R. App. P.

39.8. In the absence of a brief assigning error for our review, we dismiss Smith’s

appeal for want of prosecution. See id. 38.8(a)(1); id. 42.3(b), 43.2(f).

APPEAL DISMISSED.
