In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-21-00264-CV ___________________________ SANDRA RIES, Appellant V. AMERICAN EXPRESS NATIONAL BANK, Appellee

On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 2 Denton County, Texas Trial Court No. CV-2021-00670

Before Walker, J.; Sudderth, C.J.; and Kerr, J.

Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT On December 14, 2021, we notified Appellant that her 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 with the court an appellant’s brief and an accompanying motion reasonably explaining the brief’s untimely filing and the need for an extension. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b)(1), 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), 44.3. We have received no response.

Because Appellant has failed to file a brief 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).

Per Curiam Delivered: January 20, 2022
