In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-23-00147-CV ___________________________ JAZ SOH REN MALEK BARRONES, Appellant V. PARCLAKE & BAYSHORE VILLAGE APARTMENTS, Appellee

On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 2 Denton County, Texas Trial Court No. CV-2023-01285-JP

Before Bassel, Womack, and Wallach, JJ.

Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT Appellant’s brief was originally due on September 5, 2023. On September 18, 2023, 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).

Per Curiam Delivered: October 19, 2023
