PER CURIAM

Sitting:          Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice

DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION

           In this appeal from a forcible detainer judgment, the justice court found that Linda Johnson

had forcibly detained the plaintiff’s property. Johnson appealed to the county court; it also found

she had forcibly detained the property. Johnson filed a notice of appeal in this court, and her brief

was due on July 21, 2023.

           After no brief or motion for extension of time to file the brief was received, on July 26,

2023, we ordered Johnson to show cause in writing not later than August 7, 2023, why this appeal

should not be dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a). In our order, we
                                                                                    04-23-00573-CV

warned Johnson that if she failed to show cause in writing as ordered, this appeal would be

dismissed without further notice.

       To date, Johnson has not filed a response to our July 26, 2023 order. Accordingly, we

dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b).
