In The

Court of Appeals For The

First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-22-00090-CV ——————————— MONA WILSON, Appellant V. GUADALUPE LIZETH LOPEZ GONZALEZ, Appellee

On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No. 3 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 1155151

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant, Mona Wilson, has filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s

January 5, 2022 judgment. Appellant has failed to timely file a brief. See TEX. R.

APP. P. 38.6(a) (governing time to file brief). The clerk’s record was filed on March 7, 2022, and on March 11, 2022, the

court reporter notified the Court that no reporter’s record was taken in this case.

Accordingly, appellant’s brief was due to be filed on or before April 11, 2022. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a). Appellant did not file an appellant’s brief.

On April 13, 2022, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant that this appeal

was subject to dismissal unless a brief, or a motion to extend time to file a brief, was

filed within ten days of the notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a) (governing failure of

appellant to file brief), 42.3(b) (allowing involuntary dismissal of appeal for want of

prosecution), 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case for failure to comply

with notice from Clerk of Court). On May 13, 2022, appellant was again notified

that this appeal was subject to dismissal unless a brief, or a motion to extend time to

file a brief, was filed within ten days of the notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a),

42.3(b), 42.3(c). Despite the notices that this appeal was subject to dismissal,

appellant did not adequately respond.

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

P. 42.3(b), 43.2(f). All pending motions are dismissed as moot.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Landau, Countiss, and Guerra.
