JEREMY WIMBERLY, APPELLANT v. THOMAS J. BURBANK, LCC AND THOMAS J. BURBANK, APPELLEES
APPEAL FROM THE 60TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT JEFFERSON COUNTY , TEXAS MEMORANDUM OPINION
This appeal is being dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b). Appellant, Jeremy Wimberly, perfected his appeal on December 8, 2016. The clerk's record was filed on December 8, 2016 and Wimberly's brief was due on or before January 13, 2017. On January 18, this Court notified Wimberly that his brief was past due. On January 26, Wimberly filed a motion for extension of time to file a brief. We granted Wimberly's motion, making the brief due on or before February 27. On March 2, Wimberly filed a second motion for extension of time to file a brief. On March 8, we granted the motion, which gave Wimberly until April 13 to file a brief. The notice warned that no further extensions would be entertained and that failure to file the brief by the extended deadline may result in dismissal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8.
The deadline has passed and Wimberly has failed to file an appellant's brief. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b). Opinion delivered April 19, 2017.
