MEMORANDUM OPINION
On May 22, 2019, the trial court signed an order in this suit affecting the
parent-child relationship. Appellant filed a notice of appeal but failed to file a brief.
On December 2, 2019, we notified the parties that the appellant’s brief was past due
and warned that if the brief and a motion for extension of time were not filed, the
case would be submitted to the Court on the record alone. The Clerk also notified
the parties that submission without briefs could result in dismissal of the appeal for
want of prosecution. On December 13, 2019, we notified the parties that the appeal
would be submitted to the Court on the record alone on January 3, 2020.
