In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-24-00077-CV ___________________________

BRANDY RICHARDS, Appellant

V.

RFI THE PINNACLE LLC, Appellee

On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 2 Denton County, Texas Trial Court No. CV-2024-00361-JP

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

Appellant’s brief was due on July 5, 2024. On July 15, 2024, we notified

appellant that her brief had not been filed as the appellate rules require.1 See Tex. R.

App. P. 38.6(a). We stated that we could dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution

unless, on or before July 25, 2024, 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

Delivered: August 8, 2024

1 In other correspondence with appellant, we notified her that her docketing statement had not been filed and directed her to file a docketing statement. See Tex. R. App. P. 32.1. Despite that correspondence, appellant has not filed a docketing statement. 2
