                               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.
