DAVID MARTIN ORTIZ, Appellant

V.

KAYLYNN SYLVIA, Appellee

On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 1 Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 2021-005719-1

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

Appellant’s brief was due July 6, 2022. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). On July 21,

2022, we notified Appellant that his brief had not been filed as the Texas Rules of

Appellate Procedure require. We stated that we could dismiss his appeal for want of

prosecution unless, within ten days, Appellant filed a brief along with an

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

P. 10.5(b), 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b). More than thirty days have passed, but we have not

received a response.

Because Appellant has failed to file a brief, we dismiss his appeal for want of

prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), 43.2(f).

Per Curiam
