MEMORANDUM OPINION

BEA ANN SMITH, Justice.

Appellant Wilford Wade Cowart filed a notice of appeal on April 12, 2004. The clerk's record was filed with this Court on May 20, 2004. Because no reporter's record was filed, Cowart's brief was due June 21, 2004. See Tex.R.App.P. 38.6(a). On July 28, 2004, Cowart was notified that his brief was late and given until August 6, 2004, to respond. See Tex.R.App.P. 38.8(a)(1) (failure to file brief can result in dismissal for want of prosecution). The notice informed Cowart that failure to respond would result in dismissal of the appeal. To date, Cowart has not responded in any way to that notice. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. Id.; Tex.R.App.P. 42.3(b).
