In the Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana No. 06-26-00060-CV JAMES ROBERT MARSHALL, Appellant V. WENDY DURHAM, Appellee On Appeal from the 233rd District Court Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 233-778340-26 Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Justice Rambin MEMORANDUM OPINION On March 25, 2026, pro se Appellant, James Robert Marshall, filed a timely notice of appeal in the Second Court of Appeals. Marshall’s appeal was transferred to this Court on April 22, 2026.1 The clerk’s record was filed on May 11, 2026,2 and Marshall’s appellate brief was originally due to be filed on or before July 23, 2026. When neither a brief nor a motion to extend time for filing same was received by August 4, 2026, this Court advised Marshall by letter that his brief was late. Marshall was advised that he would have an additional fifteen days to file his brief and that his failure to do so on or before August 19, 2026, would subject this appeal to dismissal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1). We have received no responsive communication from Marshall and have not received his appellate brief. Having received no response to this Court’s letter of August 4, 2026, Marshall’s appeal is ripe for dismissal for want of prosecution. Consequently, pursuant to Rules 38.8 and 42.3 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c). Jeff Rambin Justice Date Submitted: August 27, 2026 Date Decided: August 28, 2026 1 Originally appealed to the Second Court of Appeals, this case was transferred to this Court by the Texas Supreme Court pursuant to its docket equalization efforts.
