ORDER On October 19, 2020, the reporter’s record was filed. On November 23, 2020, the clerk’s record was filed. Accordingly, appellant’s brief was due on or before December 23, 2020. To date, neither appellant’s brief nor a motion for extension of time to file appellant’s brief has been filed.

P. 38.8(a) (authorizing appellate courts to dismiss an appeal for want of prosecution when an appellant fails to timely file a brief); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal if an appellant fails to comply with a court order).
