MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices O’Neill, Lang-Miers, and Evans
Opinion by Justice O'Neill
This is an accelerated appeal from the trial court’s order terminating appellant Janeth
Quinones’s parental rights. On October 18, 2013, we notified appellant that her brief in this
cause was due on November 6, 2013. We also notified appellant that because this was a parental
termination case, no extensions would be granted absent extraordinary circumstances. We
expressly cautioned appellant that failure to timely file a brief could result in dismissal of her
appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a); 42.3; see also In re G.J.O., 05-10–
00378-CV, 2011 WL 2207094 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2011, no pet.). To date, appellant has not
filed a brief or provided any explanation for her failure to do so.
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution.
