On appeal from the 335th District Court of Burleson County, Texas Judge Carson T. Campbell Jr., presiding Trial Court Cause No. 31524

JUSTICE HARRIS delivered the opinion of the Court.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant, Leonard D. Shapiro, appealed from a final judgment signed

by the trial court on March 24, 2025. On June 24, 2025, Appellant was notified

that a docketing statement is required to be completed and returned to this

Court within 21 days of that date. The required docketing statement was not

received. See TEX. R. APP. P. 32.1. By letter dated July 22, 2025, the Clerk of

this Court notified Appellant that the docketing statement has not been filed and warned him that the Court may dismiss the appeal without further notice

if a docketing statement was not filed within twenty-one days from the date of

the letter. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).

More than twenty-one days have passed, and we have not received the

docketing statement. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P.

32.1, 42.3(c); see also Hensley v. W.M. Specialty Mortg., LLC, No. 10-05-00322-

CV, 2005 Tex. App. LEXIS 9614, at *1-2 (Tex. App.—Waco Nov. 16, 2005, no
