In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-19-00210-CV ___________________________ STAFON JACKSON, Appellant V. TEXAS HEALTH ARLINGTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, Appellee

On Appeal from the 352nd District Court Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 352-298888-18

Before Birdwell, Bassel and Womack, JJ.

Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT On October 11, 2019, we notified appellant that an appellant’s 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 Delivered: November 14, 2019
