Rosemary Ballow v. Crystal Gaston

Opinion

In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-24-00367-CV ___________________________

ROSEMARY BALLOW, Appellant

V.

CRYSTAL GASTON, Appellee

On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 2 Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 2024-001060-2

Before Wallach, J.; Sudderth, C.J., and Walker, J. Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT

Appellant’s brief was due on March 24, 2025. On April 11, 2025, 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, within ten days, 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).

Delivered: May 15, 2025
