In The

Eleventh Court of Appeals __________

No. 11-21-00043-CV __________

RICARDO RODRIGUEZ, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 266th District Court Erath County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. CR 12823

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant, Ricardo Rodriguez, filed a pro se notice of appeal from an order denying an application for writ of mandamus that he had filed in the trial court. Appellant’s brief was originally due to be filed in this court on or before June 9, 2021. We have granted three extensions of time in which to file the brief: one based upon Appellant’s motion and two based upon the court’s own motion. On August 30, 2021, we issued a letter in which we directed Appellant to file his appellate brief in this court on or before September 29, 2021. We informed Appellant that the failure to file his brief in this court by that date could “result in dismissal of the appeal.” See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c).

As of this date, Appellant has not filed a brief. Based upon Appellant’s failure to prosecute this appeal in a timely manner, we conclude that this appeal should be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c).

Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution.
