MADISON SMITH, Appellant

V.

NRP GROUP LLC DBA THE VERANDA, Appellee

On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 2 Denton County, Texas Trial Court No. CV-2022-01951-JP

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

On December 12, 2022, 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 December 22, 2022,

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 have 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).

Per Curiam
