                            V.

              DANIEL J. CATES, Appellee

         On Appeal from the 336th District Court
                 Fannin County, Texas
             Trial Court No. PO-23-46104

      Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ.
      Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Stevens
                                    MEMORANDUM OPINION

       Carlo Michael Morelli, III, filed a timely notice of appeal on April 24, 2023. The

reporter’s record was filed on April 28, 2023. The clerk’s record was filed on June 9, 2023. The

original deadline for Morelli’s appellate brief was July 10, 2023. When neither a brief nor a

motion to extend time for filing same was received by July 26, 2023, this Court advised Morelli

by letter that the brief was late. We also extended the deadline for filing the brief to August 10,

2023. We warned Morelli that the failure to file a brief by the August 10, 2023, deadline would

subject this appeal to dismissal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b),

(c).

       Morelli has not filed his brief in compliance with this Court’s deadline; consequently, the

appeal is ripe for dismissal for want of prosecution. Pursuant to Rules 38.8 and 42.3 of the

Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R.

APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c).
