MANDATE

The Fifteenth Court of Appeals
THE STATE OF TEXAS

TO THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO 1 OF DALLAS COUNTY,
GREETINGS:

On August 19, 2025, the Court of Appeals for the Fifteenth District of Texas
considered the appeal in the following case:

Charles Lewis v. Dan Willems

Court of Appeals No. 15-25-00049-CV
Trial Court No. CC-24-07085-A

The Court of Appeals entered the following judgment or order:

This cause, an appeal from the judgment in favor of appellee,
Dan Willems, signed February 26, 2025, was heard on the appellate
record. On July 16, 2025, we issued a notice stating that appellant’s
brief was due July 3, 2025, and that the Court may dismiss the appeal
for want of prosecution unless appellant reasonably explained the
failure to timely file a brief and how appellee is not significantly injured
by that failure. The notice further stated that if appellant did not file
either a motion for extension of time to file a brief or a brief
accompanied by a motion for extension with this Court by July 28,
2025, the appeal would be subject to dismissal without further notice
for want of prosecution. Appellant failed to file a request for extension
to file a brief and failed to explain his failure to timely file a brief and
how appellee is not significantly injured by that failure. We therefore
order the appeal DISMISSED for want of prosecution.

We further order this decision certified below for observance.

WHEREFORE, WE COMMAND YOU to observe the order of our said
Court in this behalf and in all things have it duly recognized, obeyed, and executed.

BY ORDER of the Fifteenth Court of Appeals, with the Seal thereof annexed,
at the City of Austin, Texas, this November 4, 2025.
