                                                 v.

appeal from a final judgment denying her bill of review. On March 21, 2024, the Clerk of

this Court advised appellant that her brief was due on March 15, 2023, that the brief had

not been timely filed, and that the appeal would be dismissed unless, within ten days,

appellant explained the failure to file the brief and the appellee would not be significantly

injured by a late filing. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c). To date, appellant has

neither responded to the Clerk’s directive nor filed her appellate brief in this matter.

       The Court, having examined and fully considered the foregoing sequence of

events, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of prosecution. See

id. R. 38.8(a); Nevarez v. Elguea, 181 S.W.3d 540, 541 (Tex. App.—El Paso 2005, no

pet.). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P.

38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c).

                                                                 L. ARON PEÑA JR.
