In The

Court of Appeals For The

First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-24-00671-CV ——————————— ROXANA JUANA RODRIGO RAMIREZ, Appellant V. ITZEL TORRES, AS INDEPENDENT ADMINISTRATOR OF THE ESTATE OF JOSE L. TORRES, Appellee

On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No. 1 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 1229797

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant, Roxana Juana Rodrigo Ramirez, has filed a notice of appeal from

the trial court’s final judgment signed on August 27, 2024. Appellant has failed to

timely file a brief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a) (governing time to file brief). On October 25, 2024, the clerk’s record was filed, and on January 18, 2025,

the court reporter’s record was filed. Accordingly, appellant’s brief was due to be

filed on or before February 20, 2025. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a). Appellant did not

file an appellant’s brief.

On February 26, 2025, 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). Despite the notice that this appeal was

subject to dismissal, appellant did not respond to the February 26, 2025 notice.

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

P. 42.3(b), 43.2(f). We dismiss any pending motions as moot.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Guerra, Caughey, and Morgan.
