Angela Napier v. Jalen Peterson

Opinion

In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-24-00492-CV ___________________________ ANGELA NAPIER, Appellant V. JALEN PETERSON, Appellee

On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 1 Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 2024-004040-1

Before Womack, Wallach, and Walker, JJ.

Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT Appellant’s brief was due on March 7, 2025. On March 17, 2025, we notified appellant that her 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, on or before March 27, 2025, 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: April 17, 2025
