Anthony GONZALES,
Appellant

v.

SELENA APARTMENTS,
Appellee

From the County Court at Law No. 3, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2025-CV-06113
Honorable Melissa Vara, Judge Presiding

Opinion by: Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice

Sitting: Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice
Lori Massey Brissette, Justice
Adrian A. Spears II, Justice

Delivered and Filed: December 3, 2025

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellant’s brief was originally due on October 27, 2025. Neither the brief nor a motion

for extension of time was filed. Therefore, on November 7, 2025, we ordered appellant to file, no

later than November 24, 2025, the brief and a written response reasonably explaining: (1) his

failure to timely file a brief, and (2) why appellee is not significantly injured by appellant’s failure

to timely file a brief. Our order cautioned appellant that if he failed to timely file a brief and the

written response by November 24, 2025, we would dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See
04-25-00600-CV

TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a); see also id. R. 42.3(c) (allowing involuntary dismissal if appellant fails to

comply with court order). Appellant did not file a response to our November 7th order.

Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution.

Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice
