APPEAL FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 3 SMITH COUNTY, TEXASMEMORANDUM OPINION

This appeal is being dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b). Appellant, J.T., perfected this appeal on September 25, 2020. The clerk's record was filed on October 30 and the reporter's record was filed on November 17. J.T.'s brief was due on or before December 17. J.T. sought an extension, which this Court granted to December 29. On January 6, 2021, this Court notified J.T. that the brief was past due. We further notified J.T. 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 has not suffered material injury thereby, is filed no later than January 19. On January 21, J.T. filed another motion for extension of time, which this Court granted to February 18. On February 23, this Court again notified J.T. that the brief was past due. We further notified J.T. that the appeal would be presented to the Court for dismissal unless a brief, accompanied by a proper motion for leave to file late brief, or a proper motion for extension of time, was filed on or before March 5.

The March 5 deadline passed and, as of the date of this opinion, J.T. has not filed a brief, a motion for leave to file a late brief, or any additional motion for extension of time. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b). Opinion delivered March 18, 2021.
