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).
