                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
   Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Benavides and Silva
             Memorandum Opinion by Justice Benavides

      This matter is before the Court on its own motion. On September 2, 2019, we

abated this cause, pursuant to a notice of bankruptcy. On April 16, 2021, we granted

appellee’s motion to lift abatement, reinstated the case, and notified appellant that

appellant’s brief was now due May 6, 2021. On May 19, 2021, the clerk of the court

notified appellant that, pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), the appeal was subject to
dismissal for want of prosecution, unless appellant provided reasonable explanation for

his failure to timely file a brief within ten days.

       Appellant has neither reasonably explained his failure to file a motion for extension

of time nor filed his brief. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a), 42.3(b),(c).

                                                               GINA M. BENAVIDES
                                                               Justice

Delivered and filed on the
15th day of July, 2021.
