                              MEMORANDUM OPINION
                Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Lang-Miers and Lewis
                               Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
    Before the Court is appellee JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A.’s motion to dismiss the appeal for

want of prosecution. Chase Bank asserts the appeal should be dismissed because appellant Carl

Benson has failed to file an amended brief despite numerous extensions. Our records reflect that

we have granted Benson three extensions over the last six months, and we last ordered him to file

his brief no later than May 8, 2013. In that order, we cautioned Benson that failure to comply

might result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1). To

date, Benson has neither filed his amended brief nor otherwise communicated with the Court

regarding the appeal. Accordingly, we grant Chase Bank’s motion, and dismiss the appeal. See

id. 42.3(b).
