In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-24-00550-CV ___________________________ DR. JAMES WHITFIELD, Appellant V. GRAPEVINE-COLLEYVILLE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT AND TAMMY NAKAMURA, Appellees

On Appeal from the 348th District Court Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 348-340502-23

Before Birdwell, Bassel, and Womack, JJ.

Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT Appellant’s brief was due on August 6, 2025. On August 18, 2025, 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).

Appellant must pay all costs of this appeal.

Per Curiam Delivered: September 18, 2025
