JONATHAN SHAFER, Appellee

On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 1 Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 2025-007598-1

Before Sudderth, C.J.; Kerr and Birdwell, JJ. Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT

Appellant’s brief was due on March 13, 2026, but he did not file a brief by that

date. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a).

On March 24, 2026 and April 16, 2026, we warned Appellant that we could

dismiss his appeal for want of prosecution unless, within ten days, he filed a brief and

an accompanying motion reasonably explaining the brief’s untimeliness. See Tex. R.

App. P. 10.5(b)(1), 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b). More than ten days have passed, and we have

not received a response.

Accordingly, 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
