On Appeal from the 324th District Court Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 324-640176-18

Before Gabriel, Kerr, and Birdwell, JJ.

Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT On January 8, 2020, we notified Appellant that his brief had not been filed as required. 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 his brief with an accompanying motion reasonably explaining the untimely filing and the need for an extension. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b), 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), 44.3. 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. 43.2(f).

Per Curiam Delivered: February 13, 2020
