THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellant

V.

RG WILLIAMS FAMILY ENTERPRISES, LP, A TEXAS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, Appellee

On Appeal from the Probate Court Denton County, Texas Trial Court No. PR-2016-00301

Before Gabriel, Kerr, and Birdwell, JJ. Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT

On March 10, 2020, we notified appellant that its 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).

Appellant must pay all costs of this appeal.

Per Curiam
