                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On May 22, 2019, the trial court signed an order in this suit affecting the

parent-child relationship. Appellant filed a notice of appeal but failed to file a brief.

On December 2, 2019, we notified the parties that the appellant’s brief was past due

and warned that if the brief and a motion for extension of time were not filed, the

case would be submitted to the Court on the record alone. The Clerk also notified

the parties that submission without briefs could result in dismissal of the appeal for

want of prosecution. On December 13, 2019, we notified the parties that the appeal

would be submitted to the Court on the record alone on January 3, 2020.

                                           1
        The Clerk has provided notice to the appellant that the appeal could be

dismissed for want of prosecution for failure to comply with the Court’s direction.

Appellant has failed to comply with the Court’s instruction to prosecute the appeal.

Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P.

42.3.
