J.W., Appellant

V. L.W., Appellee

On Appeal from the 367th District Court

Denton County, Texas Trial Court No. 20-5494-367

Before Womack, Wallach, and Walker, JJ.

Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT On March 5, 2021, 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: April 15, 2021
