                                 MEMORANDUM OPINION

       This appeal is before the Court on its own motion to determine whether it should be

dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3.

       We find that Appellant has not filed an Appellant’s brief. Notice of appeal was filed

January 5, 2023. The clerk’s record was filed April 11, 2023, and Appellant’s brief was originally

due on May 11, 2023. After Appellant’s second motion for extension of time to file brief was

granted, the Court issued an order, on June 12, 2023, extending the deadline to June 25, 2023, and

warning that no further motions for extension of time would be considered by the Court.
       On July 10, 2023, the Clerk of this Court sent a letter to Appellant notifying her it appeared

she no longer wished to pursue this appeal, as neither an Appellant’s brief nor a motion for leave

to file late brief had been filed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8. The letter indicated that the Court would

submit this case for dismissal after ten days unless any party could show grounds for continuing

the appeal. As of this date, Appellant has not filed an Appellant’s brief nor a motion for leave to

file a late brief. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution.

                                               GINA M. PALAFOX, Justice
