Opinion filed October 8, 2026 In The Eleventh Court of Appeals ___________ No. 11-26-00125-CV ___________ JACOB BARRERAS, Appellant V. JUAN A. HUERTA DBA EXTREME TOWING LLC, Appellee On Appeal from the County Criminal Court at Law No. 1 El Paso County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2025CCV00574 MEMORANDUM OPINION On November 15, 2025, Appellant, Jacob Barreras, filed a pro se notice of appeal from the trial court’s order dismissing his case for want of prosecution. 1 Due to Appellant’s failure to timely file an appellate brief and prosecute this appeal in a timely manner, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. 1 On March 12, 2026, the Eighth Court of Appeals requested that the supreme court transfer this and another appeal to a different court of appeals because Barreras filed a lawsuit in federal court naming the chief justice and the clerk of the court as defendants. Barreras v. Digitech Comput., LLC, No. 11-26- 00124-CV, 2026 WL 1593649, at *1 (Tex. App.—Eastland June 4, 2026, no pet.) (mem. op.). The supreme court transferred the appeals to this court. See id. (citing TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 73.001 (West Supp 2025)). Barreras’s brief was originally due to be filed in this court on or before July 15, 2026. On July 29, when Barreras did not timely file his brief or a motion for extension of time to file his brief, we informed Barreras that his brief was overdue and that the appeal was subject to dismissal. On August 25, we again informed Barreras that his brief remained due, extended the deadline for him to file his brief to September 14, and informed him that his failure to timely file a brief could result in the dismissal of the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c). On September 24, we reminded Barreras that his brief was overdue and that the appeal remained subject to dismissal for want of prosecution without further notice. Over ten months have passed since Barreras filed his notice of appeal. Despite numerous reminders, Barreras has not filed his brief as of this date. As he did in Barreras v. Digitech, Barreras has failed to timely prosecute this appeal. 2026 WL 1593649, at *2 (dismissing the appeal for want of prosecution after seven months had passed from the date the notice of appeal was filed). And based on Barreras’s failure to prosecute this appeal in a timely manner, we conclude that this appeal should be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c); Silva v. MCLP Asset Co., Inc., No. 08-26-00116-CV, 2026 WL 1854891, at *1 (Tex. App.—El Paso June 26, 2026, no pet.). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. W.
