            SRPF B/QUADRANGLE PROPERTY, LLC, Appellee

                On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 5
                            Dallas County, Texas
                    Trial Court Cause No. CC-21-02012-E

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
                Before Justices Pedersen, III, Goldstein, and Smith
                         Opinion by Justice Pedersen, III
      This appeal follows the trial court’s final judgment of possession. By letter

filed November 2, 2021, appellant has informed the Court that the county court has

granted a new trial in this matter. Because the granting of a new trial moots an

appeal, we directed appellant to file, no later than November 22, 2021, either a

motion to dismiss the appeal or a letter brief showing cause why the appeal should

not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a); Nat’l

Collegiate Athletic Ass’n v. Jones, 1 S.W.3d 83, 86 (Tex. 1999) (“Appellate courts

are prohibited from deciding moot controversies.”); Jones v. Tex. Dep’t of Criminal

Justice, 318 S.W.3d 398, 403 n.5 (Tex. App.—Waco 2010, pet. denied) (complaint
rendered moot by granting of motion for new trial). Although we cautioned

appellant that failure to comply could result in dismissal of the appeal without further

notice, appellant has not complied. Accordingly, on the record before us, we dismiss

the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
