MEMORANDUM OPINION

W. KENNETH LAW, Chief Justice.

Appellant's brief was due July 7, 2004. On July 28, 2004, this Court notified appellant that his brief was overdue and instructed appellant to respond by August 6, 2004, or his appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex.R.App.P. 38.8(a)(1) (if appellant fails to file brief, court may dismiss appeal for want of prosecution). Appellant has never responded to that notice. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex.R.App.P. 42.3 (b) (after ten days notice, court may dismiss for want of prosecution), (c) (after ten days notice, court may dismiss for failure to comply with rules or notice from clerk requiring response).
