On appeal from the 413th District Court of Johnson County, Texas Judge William C. Bosworth Jr., presiding Trial Court Cause No. DC-D202300019

CHIEF JUSTICE JOHNSON delivered the opinion of the Court.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant, Brandon Johnson, appealed from a final decree of divorce

signed by the trial court on April 30, 2025. On May 1, 2025, Appellant was

notified that a docketing statement is required to be completed and returned

to this Court within 21 days of that date. The required docketing statement

was not received. See TEX. R. APP. P. 32.1. By letter dated June 25, 2025, the

Clerk of this Court notified Appellant that the docketing statement has not

been filed and warned him that the Court may dismiss the appeal without

further notice if a docketing statement was not filed within twenty-one days

from the date of the letter. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c). More than twenty-one days have passed, and we have not received the

docketing statement. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P.

32.1, 42.3(c); see also Hensley v. W.M. Specialty Mortg., LLC, No. 10-05-00322-

CV, 2005 Tex. App. LEXIS 9614, at *1-2 (Tex. App.—Waco Nov. 16, 2005, no
