CELIA JOHNSON, Appellant v. CARLA CASILLAS, Appellee
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Celia Johnson appeals from a judgment in a forcible detainer case.1
Appellant's brief was due on December 21, 2016. After being notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal on January 31, 2017, appellant did not respond to the motion and has not filed a brief or sought an extension. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b) (allowing involuntary dismissal).
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a), 42.3(b). We dismiss any pending motions as moot.
FOOTNOTES
1. This appeal was previously dismissed for failure to pay appellate fees and for the clerk's record. After our dismissal, a clerk's record was filed indicating Johnson was indigent. We granted Johnson's motion for rehearing, withdrew our opinion and judgment, and reinstated the appeal, setting Johnson's brief due thirty days after the reporter's record was filed.
