                                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                            PER CURIAM
         This appeal is being dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b).
Appellant, Michael Alrik Youngbloom, Sr., filed a notice of appeal on May 22, 2023. The
clerk’s record was filed on July 3 and the reporter’s record was filed on August 8. Appellant’s
brief was due on or before September 7. This Court granted Appellant’s counsel’s first request
for an extension to October 9, second request for an extension to October 30, and third request
for extension to November 30. On December 6, the Clerk of this Court notified Appellant that
the brief was past due. We further notified Appellant that the appeal may be dismissed for want
of prosecution unless a motion for extension of time, containing a reasonable explanation for the
failure to file a brief and showing that Appellee had not suffered material injury thereby, is filed
no later than December 18.
         The December 18 deadline passed, and Appellant has not filed a brief, a motion for leave
to file a late brief, or a motion for extension of time. 1 Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for
want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(c).

Opinion delivered December 20, 2023.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.

         1 This Court previously dismissed the appeal for failure to pay the filing fee.  See In the Matter of the
Marriage of Youngbloom, No. 12-23-00153-CV, 

 (Tex. App.—Tyler June 30, 2023, no pet.)
(mem. op.). The appeal was reinstated after Appellant filed a motion for rehearing and paid the required fee.
