On Appeal from the 418th District Court Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 25-06-10371 __________________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On July 10, 2025, Julia Ann Poff filed a notice of appeal from an order

denying a protective order in Trial Cause Number 25-06-10371. After perfecting her

appeal, Poff failed to file a brief.

On February 5, 2026, the Clerk of the Ninth Court of Appeals notified the

parties that Appellant had not filed a brief and advised the parties that her appeal

would be submitted without briefs unless by February 17, 2026, Appellant filed a

brief and a motion to extend the deadline in which she had to file her brief. We

1 warned that if the Court submitted her appeal without briefs that the Court could

dismiss her appeal for want of prosecution.

On March 2, 2026, the Clerk notified the parties that on March 23, 2026, the

appeal would be submitted to the Court without briefs and without oral argument.

See Tex. R. App. P. 39.8. Because Poff has not filed a brief in her appeal assigning

any error to any of the trial court’s rulings, we dismiss Poff’s appeal for want of

prosecution. See id. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), 43.2(f).

APPEAL DISMISSED.
