              GENERATION GROVE APARTMENTS, Appellee

             On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No. 4
                           Harris County, Texas
                       Trial Court Case No. 1189375

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Appellant, Marcus W. Ray, has failed to timely file a brief. See TEX. R. APP.

P. 38.6(a) (governing time to file brief). Appellant filed a notice of appeal from the

trial court’s September 27, 2022 final judgment.
      The clerk’s record was filed on November 22, 2022, and on November 28,

2022, the Court received notice that there is no reporter’s record for this case.

Accordingly, appellant’s brief was due to be filed on or before December 28, 2022.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a). Appellant did not file an appellant’s brief.

      On January 12, 2023, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant that this appeal

was subject to dismissal unless a brief, or a motion to extend time to file a brief, was

filed within ten days of the notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a) (governing failure of

appellant to file brief), 42.3(b) (allowing involuntary dismissal of appeal for want of

prosecution), 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case for failure to comply

with notice from Clerk of Court). Despite the notice that this appeal was subject to

dismissal, appellant did not adequately respond to the January 12, 2023 notice.

      Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP.

P. 42.3(b), 43.2(f). All pending motions are dismissed as moot.

                                   PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Adams and Justices Countiss and Rivas-Molloy.
