IN THE INTEREST OF C.P., A CHILD

On Appeal from the 324th District Court Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 324-640176-18

Before Gabriel, Kerr, and Birdwell, JJ. Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT

On January 8, 2020, we notified Appellant that his brief had not been filed as

required. 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 his brief with an

accompanying motion reasonably explaining the untimely filing and the need for an

extension. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b), 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), 44.3. 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. 43.2(f).

Delivered: February 13, 2020
