       IN THE MATTER OF O.H.

 On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 2
           Wichita County, Texas
    Trial Court No. CCL2-JV2020-0002

  Before Bassel, Womack, and Wallach, JJ.
    Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion
                MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT

      Appellant’s brief was originally due on January 3, 2024. On January 10, 2024,

we notified appellant that his brief had not been filed as the appellate rules require.

See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). We stated that we could dismiss the appeal for want of

prosecution unless, within ten days, appellant filed with the court an appellant’s brief

and an accompanying motion reasonably explaining the brief’s untimely filing and

why an extension was needed. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b), 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b). We

have received no response.

      Because appellant has failed to file a brief even after we afforded an

opportunity to explain the initial failure, we dismiss the appeal for want of

prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), 43.2(f).

                                                       Per Curiam
