Lewis E. Gibson v. PNC Bank, National Association

In the
Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana

No. 06-25-00076-CV

LEWIS E. GIBSON, Appellant

V.

PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, Appellee

On Appeal from the 202nd District Court
Bowie County, Texas
Trial Court No. 24C0739-202

Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice van Cleef
MEMORANDUM OPINION

Lewis E. Gibson filed a timely notice of appeal on August 25, 2025. The clerk’s record

was filed on October 8, 2025. Gibson’s pro se appellate brief was due on November 7, 2025.

When neither a brief nor a motion to extend time for filing same was received by November 24,

2025, this Court advised Gibson by letter that his brief was late. We also warned Gibson that the

failure to file a brief by December 9, 2025, would subject this appeal to dismissal for want of

prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c).

Gibson did not respond to our communication and did not file an appellate brief.

Because we received no response to our letter of November 24, 2025, Gibson’s appeal is ripe for

dismissal for want of prosecution. Consequently, pursuant to Rules 38.8 and 42.3 of the Texas

Rules of Appellate Procedure, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP.

P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c).
