Opinion
COURT OF APPEALS EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS EL PASO, TEXAS
§ No. 08-19-00001-CV § IN THE INTEREST OF D.A.C, Appeal from § A CHILD. 388th District Court § of El Paso County, Texas § (TC # 2001CM4083) §
MEMORANDUM OPINION
This appeal is before the Court on its own motion to determine whether it should be
dismissed for want of prosecution. Finding that Appellant, Eduardo Contreras, has failed to file
his brief or a motion for extension of time to file the brief, we dismiss the appeal for want of
prosecution.
The Clerk of the Court notified Appellant that his brief was past due and no motion for
extension of time had been filed. The letter advised Appellant that the Court intended to dismiss
the appeal for want of prosecution unless Appellant responded within ten days and showed grounds
for continuing the appeal. See TEX.R.APP.P. 38.8(a)(1). Appellant has not filed the brief or an
extension motion, and he has not filed any response to the Court’s inquiry. Accordingly, we
dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX.R.APP.P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c).
