In the Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana

No. 06-25-00109-CV

JEREMY STEVENS, Appellant

V.

HAIBO ZHANG, Appellee

On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 2 Denton County, Texas Trial Court No. CV-2025-03532-JP

Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Stevens MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant, Jeremy Stevens, filed a timely notice of appeal on September 26, 2025.1 The

clerk’s record was filed on November 4, 2025. Stevens’s brief was due on January 28, 2026.

When neither a brief nor a motion to extend time for filing same was received by February 12,

2026, this Court advised Stevens by letter that his brief was late. We also warned Stevens that

the failure to file a brief by February 27, 2026, would subject this appeal to dismissal for want of

prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c).

Stevens did not respond to our communication and did not file an appellate brief.

Because we received no response to our letter of February 12, 2026, Stevens’s appeal is ripe for

dismissal for want of prosecution. Consequently, pursuant to Rules 38.8 and 42.3 of the Texas

Rules of Appellate Procedure, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP.

P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c).
