                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
                  Before Justices Carlyle, Goldstein, and Kennedy
                            Opinion by Justice Kennedy
      Before the Court is appellee’s January 26, 2023 motion to dismiss appeal for

want of prosecution asserting that appellant failed to respond to a notice from the

clerk. Appellant did not file a response to the motion.

      The Court may dismiss an appeal on any party’s motion, after ten days’ notice

to all parties, for want of prosecution or if the appellant has failed to comply with a

court order. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b),(c).

      The trial court signed their judgment on September 21, 2022 and appellant

timely filed a notice of appeal with this Court on September 23, 2022. After appellant
failed to respond to our inquiry regarding the reporter’s record, we ordered the

appeal to be submitted without the reporter’s record and for appellant to file her brief

no later than January 14, 2023. Because appellant failed to do so, we grant appellee’s

motion and dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP.

P. 42.3(b),(c).
