On Appeal from the 305th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 14-00081-X
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, Francis, and Lang-Miers
Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers
Appellant filed a notice of appeal on June 24, 2014, from a judgment terminating her
parental rights to P.S., Ha.S., F.S., H.S., and Z.S. On July 21, 2014, the reporter’s record in this
case had not been filed, and we sent a letter to appellant instructing her to provide documentation
by July 31, 2014, that she had requested preparation of the reporter’s record. See TEX. R. APP. P.
26.1(b), 28.4(a)(1), 34.6(b), 35.3(b)(2). We cautioned appellant that if she failed to provide the
required documentation within the time specified, we would submit the appeal without a
reporter’s record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(c). Appellant did not provide the required
documentation.
On August 5, 2015, we submitted the appeal without the reporter’s record and ordered
appellant to file her brief no later than August 25, 2014. She did not file a brief. In a postcard
notice dated August 26, 2014, the Court informed appellant that her brief was past due. We
instructed appellant to file a brief along with an extension motion within ten days. We cautioned
appellant that her appeal would be dismissed if she failed to file a brief and extension motion
within the time requested. As of today’s date, appellant has not filed a brief. Accordingly, we
dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c).
