THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 432nd District Court Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. S-15362 Before Walker, J; Sudderth, C.J.; and Kerr, J. Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion  MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT Appellant’s brief was due on September 8, 2026. On September 23, 2026, we notified appellant that his brief had not been filed as the appellate rules require. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). We stated that we could dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless, within ten days, appellant filed with the court an appellant’s brief and an accompanying motion reasonably explaining the brief’s untimely filing and why an extension was needed. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b), 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b). We have received no response. Because appellant has failed to file a brief even after we afforded an opportunity to explain the initial failure, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), 43.2(f). Per Curiam Delivered: October 29, 2026 2
