V.

OBREGON REMODELING (MAX), APPELLEE

On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 3 Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 2022-005665-3, Honorable Mike Hrabal, Presiding

May 20, 2024 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before PARKER and DOSS and YARBROUGH, JJ.

Appellant, Lois Steven, proceeding pro se, appeals from the trial court’s Final

Judgment.1 Steven’s brief was due March 25, 2024, but was not filed.2 By letter of April

1 Originally appealed to the Second Court of Appeals, this appeal was transferred to this Court by

the Texas Supreme Court pursuant to its docket equalization efforts. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 73.001.

2 On April 15, 2024, Steven attempted to file a document via eFile requesting a five-week extension to file a brief. This document was rejected by the Clerk of the Court, however, because it was not served on the parties and did not include a certificate of conference as required by the appellate rules. See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.5, 10.1(a)(5). Steven was instructed to file a corrected motion for extension in compliance with the appellate rules by April 18, 2024. Steven did not file a corrected motion and has not filed any additional requests for extension. 24, 2024, we notified Steven that the appeal was subject to dismissal for want of

prosecution, without further notice, if a brief was not received by May 6. To date, Steven

has neither filed a brief nor had any further communication with this Court.

Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P.

38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b).
