MEMORANDUM OPINION
Lauro A. Bustamante, Jr. appeals the trial court's order signed March 25, 2003. Bustamante's appellant's brief was due July 9, 2003. Neither the brief nor a motion for extension of time was filed. On July 22, 2003, we therefore ordered Bustamante to file, not later than August 1, 2003, his appellant's brief and a written response reasonably explaining his failure to timely file the brief and showing why appellee is not significantly injured by his failure to timely file a brief. We further advised Bustamante that if he failed to file a brief and the written response by the date ordered, we would dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex.R.App.P. 38.8(a). Bustamante has not filed a brief or the written response ordered by the court.
We therefore order this appeal dismissed for want of prosecution. We further order that appellee, Maria Z. Bustamante, recover her costs in this appeal from Lauro A. Bustamante, Jr.
