        Appellant, Marsha Bennett, has filed a motion for extension to file her corrected appellant’s
brief, which was due on April 28, 2022. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5(b). The motion is granted, and
the time to file appellant’s corrected brief is extended to June 28, 2022. No further extensions of
time to file appellant’s corrected brief will be granted, absent extraordinary circumstances.
        If appellant’s corrected brief does not comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure,
the Court may strike the corrected brief, prohibit appellant from filing another, proceed as if
appellant has failed to file a brief, and dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 38.9(a),
42.3, 43.2(f); see, e.g., See Tucker v. Fort Worth W. R.R. Co., No. 02-19-00221-CV, 2020 WL
3969586, at *1 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth June 18, 2020, pet. denied) (mem. op.) (where appellant
ordered to file amended brief but amended brief still did not comply with Texas Rules of Appellate
Procedure, striking amended brief and dismissing appeal for want of prosecution); Tyurin v. Hirsch
& Westheimer, P.C., No. 01-17-00014-CV, 2017 WL 4682191, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st
Dist.] Oct. 19, 2017, no pet.) (mem. op.); Petty v. Petty, No. 13-14-00051-CV, 2014 WL 5500459,
at *1–2 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi–Edinburg Oct. 30, 2014, pet. denied) (mem. op.) (striking
appellant’s amended brief and dismissing appeal because of failure to comply with Texas Rule of
Appellate Procedure 38.1). If appellant fails to timely file her corrected brief, the Court may also
dismiss her appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a), 42.3, 43.2(f).
       It is so ORDERED.
