MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant William Hegwood appeals the trial court’s October 5, 2022, order granting an application to administer psychoactive medication. See Tex. Health & Safety Code §§ 574.108, 574.070(e). Appellant’s brief was originally due on November 28, 2022. On November 30, 2022, this Court sent a notice to appellant informing him that his brief was overdue and that a failure to file a satisfactory response by December 12, 2022, would result in the dismissal of this appeal for want of prosecution. To date, appellant has not filed a brief or a motion for extension of time. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b). __________________________________________ Edward Smith, Justice Before Justices Baker, Smith, and Jones* Dismissed for Want of Prosecution Filed: May 17, 2023 *Before J.
