Trial Court No. 15377
Honorable Albert D. Pattillo, III, Judge Presiding
ORDER
On October 19, 2020, the reporter's record was filed. On November 23, 2020, the clerk's record was filed. Accordingly, appellant's brief was due on or before December 23, 2020. To date, neither appellant's brief nor a motion for extension of time to file appellant's brief has been filed.
We, therefore, ORDER appellant to file, on or before January 15, 2021, its appellant's brief and a written response reasonably explaining (1) its failure to timely file the brief, and (2) why appellee is not significantly injured by appellant's failure to timely file its brief. If appellant fails to file its brief and the written explanation by the date ordered, this appeal will be dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a) (authorizing appellate courts to dismiss an appeal for want of prosecution when an appellant fails to timely file a brief); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal if an appellant fails to comply with a court order).
