Opinion
IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-24-00035-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF M.R.T., A CHILD
From the 414th District Court McLennan County, Texas Trial Court No. 2017-2164-5
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant’s brief was originally due on April 6, 2024. Appellant has been given
several extensions of time to file her brief. The Clerk of this Court notified the parties in
a November 21, 2024 letter that the Appellant’s brief was overdue in this cause and that
the appeal may be dismissed if a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal
was not filed within twenty-one days of the date of the letter. A response was filed
asserting that Appellant’s brief would be filed on December 23, 2024. Thereafter, we
granted an extension to January 31, 2025 to file the brief. Appellant’s brief was filed on February 3, 2025. The brief does not comply with
the Rules of Appellate Procedure in several respects. The deficiencies include, but are
not limited to, the following: the brief was not signed by counsel for the appellant, did
not contain a certificate of word count, and was not redacted to remove sensitive data.
TEX. R. APP. P. 9.1(a), 9.4(i)(3), 9.9. The appellant’s brief is stricken.
The appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1),
42.3(b).
