IN RE DESMOND DWANN SHANNON
Submitted: June 14, 2024
On Appeal from the 6th District Court Lamar County, Texas Trial Court No. 92360
Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Scott E. Stevens Chief Justice
Desmond Dwann Shannon filed a timely notice of appeal on February 7, 2024. The clerk's record was filed on March 28, 2024. The original deadline for Shannon's appellate brief was April 29, 2024. When neither a brief nor a motion to extend time for filing same was received by May 13, 2024, this Court advised Shannon by letter that his brief was late. We also extended the deadline for filing the brief to May 28, 2024. We warned Shannon that the failure to file a brief by May 28, 2024, would subject this appeal to dismissal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c).
Shannon did not respond to our communication and did not file an appellate brief. Because we received no response to our letter of May 13, 2024, Shannon's appeal is ripe for dismissal for want of prosecution. Consequently, pursuant to Rules 38.8 and 42.3 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c).
