In the Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana No. 06-26-00037-CV SHEA BENNETT AND ANY OTHER OCCUPANTS, Appellant V. BLAKE BOWMAN, Appellee On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 2 Gregg County, Texas Trial Court No. 2026-0055-C Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Stevens MEMORANDUM OPINION On March 30, 2026,1 Appellant, Shea Bennett, filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s March 26, 2026, judgment against her. The clerk’s record was due to be filed with this Court on July 24, 2026. As of July 28, 2026, the clerk’s record had not been filed, and Bennett had not designated the record. That same day, our court clerk notified Bennett by letter of the deficiency and warned her that if we did not receive a response on or before August 7, 2026, this appeal would be subject to dismissal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c). Bennett did not respond to our defect letter. An appellate court may dismiss an appeal “because the appellant has failed to comply with . . . a notice from the clerk requiring a response or other action within a specified time.” TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c). Due to Bennett’s failure to respond to the clerk’s notice, and without a satisfactory explanation to justify her inaction, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c). Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.2 Scott E. Stevens Chief Justice Date Submitted: August 27, 2026 Date Decided: August 28, 2026 1 Bennett filed her notice of appeal in this Court on April 1, 2026. 2 Moreover, on March 31, 2026, Bennett filed a motion for new trial and a motion to set aside default judgment in the trial court. After an April 17, 2026, hearing, the trial court granted Bennett’s motion and set aside its March 26, 2026, judgment against her. Accordingly, Bennett’s present appeal is moot as well. 2
