was made for a Reporter’s Record. On July 19, 2022, the appeal was transferred by order of the
Texas Supreme Court from the Third Court of Appeals to this Court. On August 17, 2022, the
Clerk of this Court sent Appellant a letter indicating that it appeared Appellant no longer wished
to pursue this appeal, as neither an Appellant’s Brief, nor a motion for extension of time had been
filed. The letter indicated that the Court would submit this case for dismissal within 10 days
unless any party could show grounds for continuing the appeal.
As of this date, Appellant has not filed an Appellant’s Brief or a motion for extension of
time to file a brief, nor has a response been received to the correspondence sent by the Court.
Pursuant to Rule 42.3(b) and (c), we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See
TEX.R.APP.P. 42.3(b), (c).
