                                       No. 04-21-00028-CV

                            IN THE INTEREST OF N.M.B., a child,

                   From the 438th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                               Trial Court No. 2016-EM5-06049
                          Honorable Antonia Arteaga, Judge Presiding

                                          ORDER

        On February 18, 2022, we ordered Appellant Channel Beverly to provide written proof to
this court on or before February 28, 2022 that she had paid $524.75 to Mary Wilson for
preparation of the reporter’s record and $400 to Mary Wilson for scanning the exhibits. We
explained that if Appellant Channel Beverly failed to respond within the time provided, her
appellant’s brief would be due March 21, 2022 and we would only consider those issues or
points raised in her brief that do not require a reporter’s record for a decision. See TEX. R. APP. P.
37.3(c).

        Appellant did not respond to our February 18, 2022 order. Therefore, her appellant’s brief
was due March 21, 2022, but has not been filed. We ORDER Appellant Channel Beverly to file,
on or before April 6, 2022, her appellant’s brief and a written response reasonably explaining (1)
her failure to timely file the brief and (2) why appellee is not significantly injured by her failure
to timely file a brief. If Appellant Channel Beverly fails to file a brief and the written response
by the date ordered, her appeal will be dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P.
38.8(a); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal if appellant has failed to
comply with a court order).

                                                      _________________________________
                                                      Liza A. Rodriguez, Justice

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said
court on this 22nd day of March, 2022.
