Opinion

In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-20-00237-CV ___________________________ JOHNNY LEON, Appellant V. LAURA HAMILTON AND TEXAS FARMERS INSURANCE COMPANY, Appellees

On Appeal from the 352nd District Court Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 352-308005-19

Before Bassel, Womack, and Wallach, JJ.

Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT On February 26, 2021, this court notified appellant of the deficiencies in the appellant’s brief filed on February 22, 2021, and warned that the failure to file an amended brief could result in the striking of the appellant’s brief, waiver of noncomplying points, or dismissal of the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a), 38.9(a), 42.3. In response, appellant filed a motion to extend the time to file an amended brief. On March 9, 2021, this court granted appellant’s motion for extension and ordered appellant’s amended brief be filed by March 22, 2021. No brief was filed.

Therefore, on April 12, 2021, we notified appellant that we had not received his amended brief and ordered that appellant file an amended appellant’s brief with this court on or before May 3, 2021. If the brief was not filed by then, we stated that we would strike appellant’s noncompliant brief and that this appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution. We have received no response.

Because appellant has failed to file an amended brief even after we afforded several opportunities to do so, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), 43.2(f).

Per Curiam Delivered: May 20, 2021
