DR. JAMES WHITFIELD, Appellant

V.

GRAPEVINE-COLLEYVILLE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT AND
TAMMY NAKAMURA, Appellees

On Appeal from the 348th District Court
Tarrant County, Texas
Trial Court No. 348-340502-23

Before Birdwell, Bassel, and Womack, JJ.
Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT

Appellant’s brief was due on August 6, 2025. On August 18, 2025, we notified

appellant that his 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: September 18, 2025
