                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      The trial court signed an order granting appellee’s motion for summary

judgment on April 3, 2019. Appellant filed a notice of appeal but failed to file a brief.

On September 4, 2019, we notified the parties that appellant’s brief was past due and

warned that if the brief and a motion for extension of time were not filed, the case

would be submitted to the Court on the record alone. The Clerk also notified the

parties that submission without briefs could result in dismissal of the appeal for want
                                           1
of prosecution. On September 25, 2019, we notified the parties that the appeal would

be submitted to the Court on the record alone on October 16, 2019.

        The Clerk has provided notice to appellant that the appeal could be dismissed

for want of prosecution for failure to comply with the Court’s direction. Appellant

has failed to comply with the Court’s instruction to prosecute the appeal.

Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P.

42.3.

        APPEAL DISMISSED.
