Richard PAYNE, Appellant v. Anna M. SIEGRIST, et al., Appellees
MEMORANDUM OPINION
From the 218th Judicial District Court, Karnes County, Texas
Trial Court No. 11-02-00040-CVK
Honorable Ron Carr, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM Sitting: Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice
Rebecca Simmons, Justice
Steven C. Hilbig, Justice
DISMISSED
Appellant's brief, which was due on January 30, 2012, has not been filed. On February 15, 2012, this court ordered appellant to show cause in writing within fifteen days why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of prosecution. Appellant, proceeding pro se, filed a written response. Appellant's response, however, does not explain why he has failed to file an appellant's brief, does not request additional time to file an appellant's brief, and cannot be construed as an appellant's brief. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b). Costs of appeal are taxed against appellant.
