BOBBY SHIELDS, Independent Executor of the Estate of MICHAEL JOHN HOAGLAND, Appellant, v. HAYLEE N. SMITH, a.k.a HAYLEE NICOLE SMITH, Appellee.
Appeal from the County Court at Law #2 of Travis County, Texas (TC# C-1-CV-21-005094)
Before Rodriguez, C.J., Palafox, and Alley, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
GINA M. PALAFOX, JUSTICE
This appeal is before the Court on its own motion to determine whether it should be dismissed for want of prosecution. Finding Appellant, Bobby Shields, Independent Executor of the Estate of Michael John Hoagland, has not filed his Appellant's Brief or filed a motion for extension of time to file a brief, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution.
We hear this case on transfer from the Third Court of Appeals. See TEX. R. APP. P. 41.3.
On July 19, 2022, the Clerk of the Court sent Appellant a letter indicating that it appeared he no longer wished to pursue this appeal, as neither the Appellant's Brief nor a motion for extension of time had been filed. The letter indicated that the Court would submit this case for dismissal within 10 days unless any party could show grounds for continuing the appeal.
As of this date, Appellant has not filed an Appellant's Brief or a motion for extension of time to file a brief, nor has he responded to correspondence sent by the Court.
Pursuant to Rule 42.3(b) and (c), we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b), (c).
