In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-19-00087-CV ___________________________ IN THE INTEREST OF J.L. AND S.L., MINOR CHILDREN

On Appeal from the 360th District Court Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 360-575862-15

Before Bassel, J.; Sudderth, C.J.; and Womack, J.

Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT Appellant S.L.’s brief was originally due on July 1, 2019. On July 17, 2019, 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 a 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 this 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 Delivered: August 22, 2019
