This case was transferred from the Third Court of Appeals pursuant to a docket equalization order issued by the
Supreme Court of Texas. Tex. Govβt Code Ann. Β§ 73.001. We follow the precedent of the Third Court of Appeals to
the extent it might conflict with our own. Tex. R. App. P. 41.3.
Appellantβs brief was due on April 15, 2026. Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). On April 21, 2026,
the Clerk of this Court notified Appellant that the deadline to file his appellate brief has passed,
and the appeal was subject to dismissal for want of prosecution if no brief accompanied by a
motion for extension was filed by May 1, 2026. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1) (authorizing an
appellate court to dismiss a civil appeal for want of prosecution if no appellantβs brief is filed).
As of this date, Appellant has neither filed a brief nor a motion for an extension of time to
file his brief. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. Tex. R. App. P.
