MEMORANDUM OPINION
Leonard Cruse appeals from an order entered in connection with a combined contempt and enforcement proceeding. The order was entered by the court October 19, 2004. The clerk's record was filed November 12, 2004, in Houston, and with this Court December 16, 2004. The reporter's record was due January 12, 2005. None was filed. We warned counsel that the reporter's record was past due, but received no response. Further, our records do not reflect that a reporter's record was requested or paid for. See TEX. R. App. P. 35.3(b), 37.3(c).
This case is one transferred by the Texas Supreme Court from the Fourteenth Court of Appeals in Houston to this Court as part of its docket equalization activities.
On February 10, 2005, we wrote again to counsel, reminding him that his brief on the record provided had been due January 18, 2005, and warning him that, if he did not file his brief within fifteen days, along with a reasonable explanation of his failure to file the brief timely, his appeal would be subject to dismissal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3
An additional twenty days have now elapsed since the final deadline we set for filing the brief and explanation. Counsel has neither filed his brief nor contacted this Court.
We dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.
