JERALD MILLER, Appellant

V.

CITY OF FORT WORTH, CITY OF FORT WORTH DEPARTMENT OF ANIMAL CONTROL, CITY OF FORT WORTH CODE COMPLIANCE, AND CITY OF FORT WORTH POLICE DEPARTMENT, Appellees

On Appeal from the 153rd District Court Tarrant County, Texas

Trial Court No. 153-361706-25

Before Womack, Wallach, and Walker, JJ.

Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT After granting an extension, Appellant’s brief was due on December 31, 2025.

On January 14, 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, on or before January 26, 2026, 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
