                      CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
____________________________________________________________

JOSE JAIME RODRIGUEZ,                                                         Appellant,

                                            v.

____________________________________________________________

             On appeal from the 430th District Court
                   of Hidalgo County, Texas.
____________________________________________________________

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
        Before Justices Contreras, Longoria, and Hinojosa
            Memorandum Opinion by Justice Hinojosa
       Appellant, Jose Jamie Rodriguez, appealed a final protective order signed by the

430th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas. Rodriguez filed an “Anders brief” in this

Court. On June 5, 2018, the Clerk of this Court notified Rodriguez’s counsel that his brief

failed to explain, with references to authority, how the provisions of Anders v. California,

386 U.S. 738 (1967), and its progeny applied in the context of a civil protective order.
The Court ordered Rodriguez’s counsel to file a supplemental brief within ten calendar

days and warned that failure to do so may result in dismissal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3.

Rodriguez’s counsel has not filed the supplemental brief that the Court requested.

      The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant’s failure to file

the supplemental brief requested, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed.

See id. R. 42.3(b),(c). Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED for want of prosecution.

Any pending motions are DISMISSED AS MOOT.

                                                             LETICIA HINOJOSA
                                                             Justice

Delivered and filed the
28th day of June, 2018.
