V.
CLAUDIA BURNS, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 4
Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 004-01125-2013
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Lang, Stoddart, and Schenck
Opinion by Justice Schenck
Before the Court is appellee’s January 26, 2015 motion to dismiss the appeal for want of
prosecution. In the motion, appellee specifically contends we should dismiss this appeal because
appellant has failed to file a brief as directed by the Court. Our records show that by postcard
dated December 2, 2014, we notified appellant the time for filing his brief had expired. We
directed appellant to file both his brief and an extension motion within ten days. We cautioned
appellant that failure to file a brief and an extension motion would result in the dismissal of this
appeal without further notice. To date, appellant has not filed a brief, filed an extension motion,
or otherwise corresponded with the Court regarding the status of this appeal.
Accordingly, we grant appellee’s January 26, 2015 motion and dismiss this appeal. See
TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1); 42.3(b)(c).
