ON APPEAL FROM THE 36TH DISTRICT COURT
OF BEE COUNTY, TEXAS

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Silva, Peña, and West
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Silva

This matter is before the Court on its own motion. Appellant filed a notice of appeal

attempting to appeal a judgment in trial court cause number BCV1521019. On July 31,

2025, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that his brief was due on or before August

29, 2025. On September 17, 2025, the appellant was notified via certified mail that his
brief was past due. Appellant was further notified that if he fails to reasonably explain the

failure to timely file a brief within ten days from the date of the notice, the appeal would

be dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c). On

September 29, 2025, this Court received the return receipt post card indicating the notice

had been received, as addressed. However, on October 6, 2025, this Court received the

certified mail returned with a note “RTS Refused by inmate.”

To date, appellant has failed to file a brief and has not otherwise responded to the

Clerk of the Court’s notices. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution.
