We explained that if Appellant Channel Beverly failed to respond within the time provided, her appellant’s brief would be due March 21, 2022 and we would only consider those issues or points raised in her brief that do not require a reporter’s record for a decision. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(c). Appellant did not respond to our February 18, 2022 order. Therefore, her appellant’s brief was due March 21, 2022, but has not been filed. We ORDER Appellant Channel Beverly to file, on or before April 6, 2022, her appellant’s brief and a written response reasonably explaining (1) her failure to timely file the brief and (2) why appellee is not significantly injured by her failure to timely file a brief. If Appellant Channel Beverly fails to file a brief and the written response by the date ordered, her appeal will be dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal if appellant has failed to comply with a court order). _________________________________ Liza A.
