IN THE INTEREST OF A.J., A CHILD
FROM THE 231ST DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT
On September 25, 2012, we ordered appellant to file a response reasonably explaining the failure to timely file his brief as required by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.6(a). See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). We stated we could dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless appellant or any party desiring to continue this appeal filed with the court within ten days a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b),(c). We received appellant's response on October 5, 2012, but he has not provided a reasonable explanation or shown grounds for continuing the appeal.
Because appellant's brief has not been filed, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a), 42.3(b), 43.2(f).
