In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-20-00109-CV ___________________________

GHASSAN ABDULLA, Appellant

V.

EMPLOYERS MUTUAL CASUALTY COMPANY, Appellee

On Appeal from the 67th District Court Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 067-315180-20

Before Wallach, J.; Sudderth, C.J.; and Gabriel, J. Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT

On September 24, 2020, we notified appellant that his brief had not been filed

as the appellate rules require. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). We stated that we could

dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless, within ten days, appellant filed with

the court an appellant’s brief and an accompanying motion reasonably explaining the

brief’s untimely filing and why an extension was needed. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b),

38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b). We have received no response.

Because appellant has failed to file a brief even after we afforded an

opportunity to explain the initial failure, we dismiss the appeal for want of

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

Appellant must pay all costs of this appeal.

Per Curiam
