In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-19-00286-CV ___________________________ DOUGLAS CARL BLUM, Appellant V. DOUGLAS CLARK BLUM, Appellee

On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 3 Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 2016-004098-3

Before Sudderth, C.J.; Gabriel and Kerr, JJ.

Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT On November 14, 2019, we notified appellant that his 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: December 19, 2019
