Opinion

In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-25-00597-CV ___________________________

JESSI TANAKURA, Appellant

V.

YUZURU TANAKURA, Appellee

On Appeal from the 442nd District Court Denton County, Texas Trial Court No. 24-9606-442

Before Womack, Wallach, and Walker, JJ. Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT

Appellant’s brief was due on March 23, 2026. On April 8, 2026, we notified

appellant that her 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 April 20, 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
