WEST END CROSSING, Appellee

On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1 Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. 24CCCV0919 __________________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On December 10, 2024, Latonya Weems filed a notice of appeal from a final

judgment in an eviction case. But after perfecting an appeal, Weems failed to file a

brief.

On March 20, 2025, the Clerk of the Ninth Court of Appeals notified the

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

be submitted without briefs unless by March 31, 2025, Weems filed a brief and a

motion to extend the deadline for filing her brief. We warned Weems that if the

1 Court submitted her appeal without briefs that the Court could dismiss her appeal

for want of prosecution.

On April 11, 2025, the Clerk notified the parties that on May 2, 2025, the

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

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

assigning any error to any of the trial court’s rulings, we dismiss Weems’s appeal

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

APPEAL DISMISSED.
