In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-25-00632-CV ___________________________

IN THE INTEREST OF T.K. AND A.K., CHILDREN

On Appeal from the 324th District Court Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 324-753649-24

Before Birdwell, Bassel, and Womack, JJ. Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT

Appellant filed three motions for an extension of time to file his brief. We

granted all three extensions, and in our most-recent order granting an extension, we

indicated that “NO FURTHER EXTENSIONS WILL BE GRANTED. ”

Per our most-recent order, appellant’s brief was due on May 6, 2026. On May

13, 2026, 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).
