Submitted on June 10, 2022.
On Appeal from the 317th District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. C-237,895.
Before Golemon, C.J., Kreger and Johnson, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
On January 18, 2022, the trial court signed a final Order of Termination, terminating Appellant's rights to her minor child, B.L. Appellant filed a notice of appeal pro se but failed to file a brief. On March 29, 2022, we notified the parties that the reporter's record had not been filed because the reporter's fee had not been paid and that the appeal would be submitted on the clerk's record alone unless payment arrangements were made with the court reporter or a motion explaining the need for additional time to file the record was filed.
On April 29, 2022, we notified the parties that Appellant's brief was past due. We warned the parties that unless we received a brief and motion for extension of time by May 4, 2022, the Court would submit the appeal on the record without a brief. We warned Appellant that the failure to file a brief could result in dismissal of the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1). Appellant failed to file a brief. On May 20, 2022, we notified the parties that the Court was submitting the appeal on the record alone without briefs as of June 10, 2022.
In the absence of a brief assigning error for appellate review, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b).
APPEAL DISMISSED.
