Honorable Antonia Arteaga, Judge Presiding
ORDER
On June 20, 2016, the day Appellant's brief was due, we suspended the appellate timetable to allow the parties to mediate. On July 22, 2016, after the parties could not agree on a date and time to mediate, we reinstated the appellate timetable and Appellant's brief was due. To date, Appellant has not filed either (1) a motion for extension of time to file the brief or (2) the brief.
We ORDER Appellant to show cause in writing within TEN DAYS of the date of this order why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a), 42.3(b), (c); Elizondo v. City of San Antonio, 975 S.W.2d 61, 63 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1998, no pet.). Appellant's written response must include a reasonable explanation for Appellant's failure to timely file the brief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a).
If Appellant fails to show cause as ordered, this appeal may be dismissed without further notice. See id. R. 42.3(b), (c); Elizondo, 975 S.W.2d at 63.
