MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Benavides, Tijerina, and Peña Memorandum Opinion by Justice Peña This matter is before the Court on its own motion. On September 26, 2022, the

Clerk of the Court notified appellant that, pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure

38.8(a)(1), the appeal was subject to dismissal for want of prosecution unless, within ten

days, appellant provided reasonable explanation for his failure to timely file a brief. The

Court subsequently granted appellant’s motion for extension of time to file brief, extending

the deadline from September 22, 2022, to November 28, 2022. On December 22, 2022,

the Court granted appellant’s second amended motion for extension of time to file brief.

We ordered appellant to file an appellate brief with this Court on or before 5:00 p.m. on

January 27, 2023. The Court again informed appellant that his appeal was subject to

dismissal for want of prosecution, but to date appellant has failed to file a brief.

Appellant has neither reasonably explained the delay in filing a motion for

extension of time nor filed his brief. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of

prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a), 42.3(b),(c). We dismiss all pending motions as

moot.
