IN THE INTEREST OF S.P.M., A CHILD
On Appeal from the 318th District Court Midland County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. FM66016
Panel consists of: Bailey, C.J., Trotter, J., and Williams, J.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM.
This is an appeal from a final decree of divorce in which the trial court appointed the parents as joint managing conservators of S.P.M. and gave the father the exclusive right to designate the primary residence of S.P.M. The mother filed a notice of appeal on July 8, 2021. Appellant's brief was originally due to be filed in this court on or before November 17, 2021. On December 1, the clerk of this court notified Appellant that her brief was past due and that this court, on its own motion, had granted an extension to December 8. On December 16, the clerk of this court again notified Appellant that her brief was past due and granted another extension on the court's own motion. In the December 16 letter, we informed Appellant that 1 the failure to file her brief in this court on or before December 27, 2021, could "result in dismissal of the appeal." See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c). On January 10, 2022, we sent a similar notice, again extending the due date on the court's own motion, and we informed Appellant that the failure to file her brief or a motion for extension in this court on or before January 20, 2022, may "result in this appeal being dismissed for want of prosecution." See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c).
As of this date, Appellant has not filed a brief or a motion for extension. Based upon Appellant's failure to prosecute this appeal in a timely manner, we conclude that this appeal should be dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c).
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. 2
