NO. 12-18-00120-CV IN THE COURT OF APPEALS TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT TYLER, TEXAS IN THE INTEREST OF § APPEAL FROM THE 273RD D.B.B., M.J.B., AND M.B.B., § JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT CHILDREN § SHELBY COUNTY, TEXAS MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM This appeal is being dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b). A.B. perfected her appeal on May 11, 2018. The clerk’s record was filed on June 18, 2018, and A.B.’s brief was due on or before September 13. On September 25, the Clerk of this Court notified A.B. that her brief was past due and no motion for extension of time had been filed. The notice warned that the appeal may be dismissed for want of prosecution if a motion for extension of time, containing a reasonable explanation for the failure to timely file a brief and showing that Appellee has not suffered material injury thereby, was not received by October 5. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1). The deadline has passed and A.B. has failed to file a proper motion for extension of time or an appellant’s brief and has not otherwise respond to this Court’s September 25 notice. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b). Opinion delivered October 17, 2018. Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.
