MEMORANDUM OPINION
On May 19, 2026, Appellant Art Northcutt filed a notice of appeal from a final
judgment in an eviction suit.
On September 16, 2026, the Clerk of the Ninth Court of Appeals notified the
parties that Northcutt had not filed a brief and advised the parties that the appeal
would be submitted without briefs unless by Monday, September 28, 2026,
Northcutt filed a brief and a motion to extend the deadline for filing his brief. We
1
warned Northcutt that if the Court submitted his appeal without briefs that the Court
could dismiss his appeal for want of prosecution.
On October 8, 2026, the Clerk notified the parties that on Thursday, October
29, 2026, the appeal would be submitted to the Court without briefs and without oral
argument. See Tex. R. App. P. 39.8. Because Northcutt has not filed a brief in his
appeal assigning any error to any of the trial court’s rulings, we dismiss the appeal
for want of prosecution. See id. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), 43.2(f).
APPEAL DISMISSED.
