V.
CARMEN NANCE SANDERS N/K/A CARMEN LEE NANCE GAMBRILL,
Appellee
On Appeal from the 405th District Court
Galveston County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 07CV0656
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellee, Carmen Nance Sanders n/k/a Carmen Lee Nance Gambrill, moves
to dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution because appellant, George E. Dixon,
has failed to timely file a brief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a) (authorizing dismissal
for failure of appellant to file brief). The appellate record was complete September
20, 2012. Appellant’s brief was due on October 22, 2012. See TEX. R. APP. P.
38.6(a) (governing time to file brief). Over ten days have passed and appellant has
not responded to appellee’s motion to dismiss. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.3,
38.8(a)(1).
Accordingly, we grant appellee’s motion and dismiss the appeal for want of
prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a), 42.3(b), 43.2(f). We dismiss all other
pending motions as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Higley and Brown.
