KENNECIA WILLIAMS, Appellant

V.

SPCP REESE OWNER, LLC, Appellee

On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 1 Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 2025-004231-1

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

Appellant’s brief was due on December 5, 2025. On December 23, 2025, 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 January 2, 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 received no response.

On January 20, 2026, we sent another notice to Appellant informing her that

her brief had still 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 January 30, 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). Once again, we

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).
