MEMORANDUM OPINION
From the 150th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2015EM503338
Honorable Nick Catoe Jr., Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice Jason Pulliam, Justice DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION
In this appeal of an order in a suit affecting the parent-child relationship, Appellant B.J.'s brief was due to be filed by December 16, 2015. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a). On December 14, 2015, Appellant moved this court to stay the appeal and order mediation. On December 29, 2015, we denied Appellant's motion and ordered Appellant to file his brief by January 28, 2016. On February 3, 2016, after no brief or motion for extension of time was filed, we ordered Appellant to show cause in writing not later than February 16, 2016, why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of prosecution. See id. R. 38.8(a). In the order, we warned Appellant that if he failed to show cause as ordered, we could dismiss this appeal without further notice.
To protect the minor's identity, we use aliases to refer to the father and child. See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.8 (use of aliases). --------
To date, Appellant has filed no response to our February 3, 2016 order. We dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See id. R. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b).
