In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-24-00526-CV ___________________________ GRADY WHITENER AND JOCELYN WHITENER, Appellants V. KATRINA STANLEY, Appellee

On Appeal from the 67th District Court Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 067-349265-24

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

Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT Appellants’ brief was due on February 21, 2025. On February 25, 2025, we notified Appellants that their 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, Appellants filed with the court an appellants’ 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 Appellants have 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).

Appellants must pay all costs of this appeal.

Per Curiam Delivered: March 13, 2025
