Michelle Johnson, Appellant v. Bank of New YorkMellon, Appellee
MEMORANDUM OPINION 1 AND JUDGMENT
On March 24, 2016, we notified appellant that her brief had not been filed as required by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.6(a). See Tex.R.App. P. 38.6(a). We stated we could dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless appellant or any party desiring to continue this appeal filed with the court within ten days a motion reasonably explaining the failure to file an appellant's brief and the need for an extension. See Tex.R.App. P. 10.5(b), 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b). We have not received any response.
Because appellant has failed to timely file a brief after having been given an opportunity to reasonably explain the failure, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex.R.App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), 43.2(f).
