KATHY BOONE APPELLANT

V.

VERA M. BOONE APPELLEE

------------

FROM COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 1 OF TARRANT COUNTY TRIAL COURT NO. 2017-002160-1

MEMORANDUM OPINION1 AND JUDGMENT ------------

On January 8, 2018, we notified appellant that her brief had not been filed

as required by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.6(a). See Tex. R. App. P.

38.6(a). We stated that we could dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution

unless appellant filed with the court within ten days an appellant’s brief and a

motion reasonably explaining the failure to file an appellant’s brief and the need

1 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4. for an extension. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b), 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b). We have not

received any response.

Because appellant failed to file a brief after having been given an

opportunity to provide a reasonable explanation for the failure, we dismiss this

appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), 43.2(f).
