On Appeal from the Probate Court No. 1 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 488853-401

MEMORANDUM OPINION

This is an appeal from the trial court’s March 19, 2021 order granting

interpleader. Appellants’ brief was originally due on September 13, 2021. Two extensions were granted until January 11, 2022. On January 25, 2021, this Court

issued a notice advising appellants that unless the brief was filed within ten days, we

might dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. Appellants neither timely filed a

brief nor requested an extension. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1) (the appellate court

may dismiss for want of prosecution for failure to file appellant’s brief).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP.

P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), 43.2(f). We dismiss any pending motions as moot.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Goodman and Hightower.
