In The

Court of Appeals For The

First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-24-00071-CV ——————————— JACQUELINE JAMES, Appellant V. CAMDEN DEVELOPMENT INC., Appellee

On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No. 3 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 1216394

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant, Jacqueline James, filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s

January 8, 2024 final judgment. Appellant has failed to timely file a brief. See TEX.

R. APP. P. 38.6(a) (governing time to file brief). The record in this appeal was originally due on or before March 8, 2024. The

reporter’s record was filed on March 8, 2024, and the clerk’s record was filed on

March 13, 2024. Accordingly, appellant’s brief was due to be filed on or before

April 12, 2024. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a). Appellant did not file an appellant’s

brief.

On April 23, 2024, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant that this appeal

was subject to dismissal unless a brief, or a motion to extend time to file a brief, was

filed within ten days of the notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a) (governing failure of

appellant to file brief), 42.3(b) (allowing involuntary dismissal of appeal for want of

prosecution), 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case for failure to comply

with notice from Clerk of Court). Despite the notice that this appeal was subject to

dismissal, appellant did not adequately respond.

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

P. 42.3(b), (c), 43.2(f). All pending motions are dismissed as moot.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Landau, Countiss, and Guerra.
