In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-23-00173-CV ___________________________

JOSEPH MENDOZA AND VANESSA ACOSTA, Appellants

V.

RACHEL LANEY, Appellee

On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 1 Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 2023-001713-1

Before Sudderth, C.J.; Kerr and Birdwell, JJ. Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT

Appellants’ brief was due on September 11, 2023, but no brief was filed. See

Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). On September 25, 2023, we warned Appellants that we could

dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless, within ten days, they filed a brief

and an accompanying motion reasonably explaining the brief’s untimeliness. See Tex.

R. App. P. 10.5(b), 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b). More than ten days have passed, but we have

not received a response.

Because Appellants have failed to file a brief, 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

Delivered: October 26, 2023
