MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Freddie L. Walker Sr. filed a notice of appeal and a statement of
inability to afford payment of court costs. The record was duly filed, but Appellant
failed to file a brief.
On May 4, 2026, we notified the parties that Walker had not filed a brief and
that his appeal would be submitted without briefs unless, by May 14, 2026, he filed
a motion for extension of time accompanied by a brief supporting his appeal. We
1
also warned Walker that his appeal could be dismissed for want of prosecution if the
Court submitted the appeal without a brief.
On May 14, 2026, Walker filed a motion for extension of time, but he did not
file a brief. We granted a motion for extension of time to file the brief by July 10,
2026, and we warned Walker that no further extensions would be granted except for
good cause shown. To date, we have not received an Appellant’s Brief.
On July 23, 2026, Appellee Stephanie Renee Davila filed a motion to dismiss
the appeal for want of prosecution. In the absence of a brief assigning error for our
review, we grant Davila’s motion to dismiss. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed
for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1); id. 42.3(b), 43.2(f).
APPEAL DISMISSED.
