In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-23-00454-CV ___________________________ DONNY DANIEL SHAW, Appellant V. JOYCE CHRISTINE BRUNNER, INDIVIDUALLY, AND FOR OTHER STATUTORY BENEFICIARIES OF MARTY LEE VAUGHN, DECEASED, Appellee

On Appeal from the 48th District Court Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 048-325408-21

Before Birdwell, Bassel, and Womack, JJ.

Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT After receiving three extensions of time to file his brief, appellant’s brief was due on October 10, 2024. 1 On October 21, 2024, 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: December 5, 2024

We subsequently denied appellant’s fourth and fifth motions for extension of time to file his brief.
