Appeal from the 134th District Court of Dallas County, Texas (TC# 06-12042-G).
Before CHEW, C.J., McCLURE, and CARR, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
This appeal is before the Court on its own motion for determination whether the appeal should be dismissed for want of prosecution. Finding that Appellant has failed to file a brief or respond to our inquiry letter, we dismiss the appeal.
This Court possesses the authority to dismiss an appeal for want of prosecution when the appellant has failed to file a brief in the time prescribed, and gives no reasonable explanation for such failure. Tex.R.App.P. 38.8(a)(1); Elizondo v. City of San Antonio, 975 S.W.2d 61, 63 (Tex.App.-San Antonio 1998, no writ). We have given notice of our intent to dismiss the appeal and requested a response if a reasonable basis for failure to file the brief facts exists. Appellant has not filed a response to our inquiry. We therefore dismiss the appeal pursuant to Tex.R.App.P. 38.8(a)(1) and 42.3(c).
