Opinion

In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-21-00039-CV ___________________________

CHANDRAMOHAN GUPTA, Appellant

V.

CITY OF BEDFORD, Appellee

On Appeal from the 67th District Court Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 067-322868-21

Before Kerr, Birdwell, and Bassel, JJ. Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT

On April 9, 2021, we notified appellant that his brief had not been filed as the

appellate rules require. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). We stated that we could dismiss

the appeal for want of prosecution unless, within ten days, 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).

Appellant must pay all costs of this appeal.

Per Curiam
