       Trial Court Case Nos. 112783-CV, 112783-CV-B, 112783-CV-C

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Appellant Brenetta Naneke Sherman, proceeding pro se, failed to file a brief.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a), 38.8(a). This Court previously granted Appellant three
prior extensions to file her brief, but each time Appellant failed to file her brief

seeking additional extensions instead. In our order granting Appellant’s third

request for an extension, we informed Appellant we were granting one last extension

for her to file her appellate brief by January 12, 2024, and that failure to file her brief

could result in dismissal of her appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a), 42.3(b), 43.2(f).

Instead of filing her brief by the due date, Appellant filed a letter on January 11,

2024 and another on March 7, 2024, requesting this Court to “look into this case,”

“investigate this matter,” and “subpoena the original documents,” which we construe

as motions for a fourth extension.

       We deny Appellant’s motions and dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a), 42.3(b), 43.2(f). All other pending motions are denied

as moot.

                                     PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Kelly, Countiss, and Rivas-Molloy.
