Opinion

In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-22-00308-CV ___________________________

SANDY JOYCE, Appellant

V.

HOMETOWNE AT MATADOR RANCH, Appellee

On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 1 Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 2022-0021111-1

Before Bassel, Womack, and Wallach, JJ. Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT

Appellant’s brief was originally due on November 28, 2022. On December 12,

2022, 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 her 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).

Per Curiam
