Trial Court Case No. 25-CV-1332
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Mark Smith, proceeding pro se, failed to file a brief. See TEX. R.
APP. P. 38.6(a), 38.8(a). On May 4, 2026, the Clerk of this Court notified Appellant
that his appellate brief was past due, and his appeal was subject to dismissal. See
TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a), 42.3(b), 43.2(f). We directed Appellant to file his brief and
a motion requesting an extension to file the brief within 10 days of our notice.
Appellant did not respond. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c).
We dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution for failure to file a brief. See
TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a), 42.3(b)β(c), 43.2(f). We dismiss any pending motions as
moot.
