In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-26-00371-CV ___________________________ IN THE INTEREST OF F.S., A CHILD On Appeal from the 97th District Court Montague County, Texas Trial Court No. 25-169-DCFAM-0132 Before Womack, Wallach, and Walker, JJ. Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion  MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT Appellant’s brief was due on July 30, 2026. On August 12, 2026, we notified appellant that her 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, on or before August 24, 2026, 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: September 3, 2026 2
