                                MEMORANDUM OPINION


       Appellant Shannon Luster filed a pro se notice of appeal challenging the trial court’s

order terminating her parental rights to Christyn Shanae Luster.1 The clerk’s record was

filed on March 4, 2004; however, no reporter’s record was filed. Appellant’s brief was due

to be filed on April 5, 2004, but has yet to be filed and no motion for extension of time was

filed. By letter dated June 1, 2004, this Court notified Luster at her address in the McIntosh

explain the failure to file a brief with a showing that appellees William Darell Luster and

Lynn Lee Luster, the child’s grandparents, have not been injured by the delay on or before

June 14, 2004. The Court’s letter was returned with a notation from the post office that

Luster was no longer at that address and had left no forwarding address.


      Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution and failure to comply

with an order of this Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1) and 42.3(b) and (c).
