In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-20-00291-CV ___________________________ LESLIE VAN ANNE, Appellant V. CAROL POTICHA, Appellee On Appeal from the 211th District Court Denton County, Texas Trial Court No. 19-11343-211 Before Sudderth, C.J.; Kerr and Birdwell, JJ. Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT Appellant’s brief was initially due on November 30, 2020. After the parties informed us about their mediation attempts, among other things, appellant’s briefing deadline was reset to March 5, 2021. On March 8, 2021, we notified appellant that her brief had not been filed as the appellate rules require. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). We stated that we could dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless, within ten days, she filed with the court an appellant’s brief and an accompanying motion reasonably explaining the brief’s untimely filing and why an extension was needed. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b), 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b). We have received no response. Because appellant has failed to file a brief even after we afforded an opportunity to explain the initial failure, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), 43.2(f). Appellant must pay all costs of this appeal. Per Curiam Delivered: April 15, 2021 2
