MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Tijerina and Justices Silva and Cron
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Silva

On January 20, 2026, appellant Tessa Clothier filed a notice of appeal on a

judgment rendered in favor of appellee Village at Henderson Apartments. On the same

day, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that the notice of appeal did not comply with

Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.1, 9.5(e), 25.1(d)(1), (2), (3), (4), and (8). See TEX.
R. APP. P. 9.1, 9.5(e), 25.1(d)(1), (2), (3), (4), (8). Appellant was provided thirty days to

cure the defects in her notice of appeal. On February 26, 2026, the Clerk of the Court

again notified appellant of the defects in her notice of appeal. Appellant was further

advised that if the defects were not cured within ten days, the appeal would be dismissed.

See id. R. 42.3(b), (c). On May 26, 2026, the Clerk sent a final notice to appellant to cure

the defects within ten days, or the appeal would be subject to dismissal. See id. R. 9.1, 9.5(e),

25.1(d)(1), (2), (3), (4), (8), 42.3(b), (c). Appellant has failed to correct the defects or respond to

the notices from the Clerk of the Court requiring a response or other action within the time

specified.

The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant’s failure to

correct the defect in this matter or respond to this Court’s notices, is of the opinion that

the appeal should be dismissed for want of prosecution. See id. R. 42.3(b), (c).

Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. See id.
