                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
              Before Justices Benavides, Perkes, and Tijerina
                 Memorandum Opinion by Justice Perkes

      This matter is before the Court on the appellant’s failure to file a brief or reasonably

explain her failure to do so. The appellant's brief in the above cause was due on January

3, 2020. On January 7, 2020, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that the brief had

not been timely filed and that the appeal was subject to dismissal for want of prosecution
under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.8(a)(1), unless within ten days from the date

of receipt of the letter, appellant reasonably explained the failure and the appellee was

not significantly injured by the appellant's failure to timely file a brief.

       Appellant has failed to either reasonably explain her failure to file a brief, file a

motion for extension of time to file her brief, or file her brief. Accordingly, the appeal is

DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a), 42.3(b).

                                                                    GREGORY T. PERKES
                                                                    Justice
