MATRIX ENGINEERING, LTD., Appellant v. Pedro COVARRUBIAS, Appellee
MEMORANDUM OPINION
From the 224th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2007-CI-11493
Honorable Antonia Arteaga, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice

DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION
Appellant, Matrix Engineering, Ltd., appealed the trial court's judgment in Trial Court No. 2007-CI-11493. Appellant's brief was due October 31, 2011. Because appellant failed to file its brief we ordered appellant to file, on or before December 12, 2011, its appellant's brief and a written response reasonably explaining its failure to timely file the brief. We advised appellant that if it 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); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c) (court may dismiss appeal because appellant has failed to comply with a court order within the time provided). Appellant has not filed a brief or the written response ordered by the court.
We therefore order this appeal dismissed. We further order that appellee recover his costs in this appeal from appellant.
