See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 73.001 (West Supp. 2025). Appellant’s brief was originally due to be filed in this court on or before June 22, 2026. On June 23, when Appellant did not timely file his brief or a motion for extension of time to file his brief, we informed Appellant by letter that his brief was overdue. In letters dated July 1 and July 28, we again informed Appellant that his brief remained due, extended the deadlines for him to file his brief, 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). As of this date, Appellant has not filed his brief. Based on Appellant’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); Gross v.
