Opinion
In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-21-00142-CV ___________________________
S.V., Appellant
V.
A.P., Appellee
On Appeal from the 231st District Court Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 231-694433-21
Before Sudderth, C.J.; Kerr and Birdwell, JJ. Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT
Appellant S.V. attempted to file a brief in May 2021, but her brief did not
comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure or our Local Rules. On August
10, 2021, we notified Appellant of the deficiencies in her brief, listed the relevant
rules, and directed her to file an amended, compliant brief by September 9, 2021. See
Tex. R. App. P. 9.5(d), 9.8, 9.9, 38.1(a–i), (k); 2d Tex. App. (Fort Worth) Loc. R. 7.
When Appellant had not filed an amended brief by September 30, we notified
her again. We warned that we could dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution
unless, within ten days, Appellant or any party desiring to continue the appeal filed an
amended brief and an accompanying motion reasonably explaining the brief’s
untimely filing. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b), 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b). More than twenty
days have since passed, and we have not received a response.
Because Appellant failed to file a brief after being afforded an opportunity to
do so, 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
Delivered: November 4, 2021
