Opinion

In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-22-00474-CV ___________________________

JENNIFER LAZARO, Appellant

V.

ARGYLE HILLTOP, LLC, Appellee

On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 2 Denton County, Texas Trial Court No. CV-2022-03612-JP

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

On April 20, 2023, and April 27, 2023, we notified appellant that her brief had

not been filed as required by the appellate rules. 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).

Per Curiam
