Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas July 28, 2021

No. 04-21-00083-CV

Daniel ROUNDTREE, Appellant

v.

Chandravadan BHAKTA, Appellee

From the County Court at Law No. 3, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2020CV04583 Honorable J Frank Davis, Judge Presiding

ORDER

Appellant’s brief was due to be filed by June 21, 2021. On June 28, 2021, we sent appellant a notice that his brief had not been timely filed and requested an explanation from appellant by July 8, 2021. Appellant has not filed a brief, motion for extension or time, or explanation. It is therefore ORDERED that appellant file, within fifteen (15) days of the date of this order, his brief and a written response reasonably explaining: (1) his failure to timely file a brief, and (2) why appellee is not significantly injured by appellant’s failure to timely file a brief. If appellant fails to timely file a brief and the written response, we will dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal if an appellant fails to comply with a court order).
