RG WILLIAMS FAMILY ENTERPRISES, LP, A TEXAS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, Appellee On Appeal from the Probate Court Denton County, Texas Trial Court No. PR-2016-00301 Before Gabriel, Kerr, and Birdwell, JJ. Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT On March 10, 2020, we notified appellant that its brief had not been filed as the appellate rules require. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). We stated that we could dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless, within ten days, appellant filed with the court an appellant’s brief and an accompanying motion reasonably explaining the brief’s untimely filing and why an extension was needed. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b), 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b). We have received no response. Because appellant has failed to file a brief even after we afforded an opportunity to explain the initial failure, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), 43.2(f). Appellant must pay all costs of this appeal. Per Curiam Delivered: April 2, 2020 2
