RICHARD A. DUNSMORE, APPELLANT

V.

MANAGEMENT AND TRAINING CORPORATION, ET AL., APPELLEE

On Appeal from the 154th District Court Lamb County, Texas Trial Court No. DCV-20965-24, Honorable Scott A. Say, Presiding

March 30, 2026 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before PARKER, C.J., and DOSS and YARBROUGH, JJ.

Appellant, Richard A. Dunsmore, appeals from the trial court’s Order of Dismissal.

We dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.

Appellant’s brief was originally due December 29, 2025, but was not filed. By letter

of January 7, 2026, we notified Appellant that the appeal was subject to dismissal for want

of prosecution, without further notice, if a brief was not received by January 20, 2026. On

January 21, 2026, Appellant attempted to file a brief electronically. Because the brief was

not accompanied by a motion for extension, the Clerk of this Court rejected the filing and instructed Appellant to refile the brief with a motion for extension within three days. No

motion or brief was received.

By letter of February 6, 2026, we again directed Appellant to file a brief with a

motion for extension by February 17, 2026, admonishing that failure to do so would result

in dismissal for want of prosecution. To date, Appellant has neither complied with this

directive 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).
