Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
No. 06-16-00042-CV
MARTIN JIMENEZ, Appellant
V.
PILGRIM’S PRIDE CORPORATION, Appellee
On Appeal from the 276th District Court
Camp County, Texas
Trial Court No. CV-14-2436
Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Burgess
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Martin Jimenez timely filed a notice of appeal June 23, 2016. The clerk’s record was filed
August 1, 2016. The reporter’s record was filed August 5, 2016. Jimenez’ brief was due to be
filed in this Court on September 6, 2016. When neither a brief nor a motion to extend time for
filing same was received by September 6, this Court advised Jimenez by letter dated September 22,
2016, that the brief was late. We further extended the deadline for filing the brief to October 7,
2016. We warned Jimenez that failure to file the brief by October 7, 2016, would subject this
appeal to dismissal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c).
We have received no responsive communication from Jimenez and have not received his
appellate brief. Having not received any response to this Court’s letter of September 22, 2016,
Jimenez’ appeal is ripe for dismissal for want of prosecution. Consequently, pursuant to Rules
38.8 and 42.3 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, we dismiss this appeal for want of
prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c).
