MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Garza and Longoria
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, Chantella Marie Rosales, appealed a judgment entered by the 148th
District Court of Nueces County, Texas. On June 17, 2016, the Clerk of this Court
notified appellant that the notice of appeal failed to comply with Texas Rule of Appellate
Procedure 9.5, and 25.1(d),(e). See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.5, and 25.1(d),(e). The Clerk
directed appellant to file an amended notice of appeal with the district clerk's office within
30 days from the date of that notice. On August 16, 2016, the Clerk notified appellant
that the defect had not been corrected and warned appellant that the appeal would be
dismissed if the defect was not cured within ten days. Appellant has not responded to
the notice from the Clerk or corrected the defect.
An appellate court may dismiss a civil appeal for want of prosecution or failure to
comply with a notice from the clerk requiring a response or other action within a specified
time. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b),(c). The Court, having considered the documents on
file, and appellant’s failure to correct the defect, is of the opinion that the appeal should
be dismissed. See id. 37.3, 42.3(b),(c). Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED for want
of prosecution and failure to comply with a notice from the Court. See id.
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed the
2nd day of September, 2016.
