MEMORANDUM OPINION
The appellant's brief in the above cause was originally due on July 25, 2008. The appellant has previously requested and received four prior extensions of time, granting the appellant until October 19, 2008, to file the brief. On January 15, 2009, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that the brief had not been timely filed and that the appeal was subject to dismissal for want of prosecution under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.8(a)(1), unless within ten days from the date of receipt of this letter, appellant reasonably explained the failure and the appellee was not significantly injured by the appellant's failure to timely file a brief. No response has been received from appellant.
Appellant has failed to either reasonably explain his failure to file a brief, file a motion for extension of time to file his brief, or file his brief. Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a), 42.3(b).
