KEVIN STEVE THORNTON, Appellant v. CHELSEA WESTFALL, Appellee


On Appeal from the 280th District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Case No. 2019-72510

MEMORANDUM OPINION

This is an appeal from the trial court's October 23, 2019 final judgment. Because appellant failed to make payment arrangements for the reporter's record and failed to respond to our notices concerning this failure, the Court issued an order on February 6, 2020, ordering appellant to file an appellant's brief on or before April 6, 2020 without the benefit of a reporter's record. No brief was filed. On April 17, 2020, we issued a notice advising appellant that unless the brief was filed within ten days, we might dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. Appellant neither timely filed a brief nor requested an extension. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1) (the appellate court may dismiss for want of prosecution for failure to file appellant's brief).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), 43.2(f). We dismiss all pending motions as moot.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Keyes, Kelly, and Landau.
