Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, LA FAMOSA, INC. , perfected an appeal from a judgment entered by the   275th District Court of Hidalgo

filed .  Appellant's brief was due on August 15, 2001. To date, no appellate brief has been received.
When the appellant has failed to file a brief in the time prescribed, the Court may dismiss the appeal for want of
prosecution, unless the appellant reasonably explains the failure and the appellee is not significantly injured by the
appellant's failure to timely file a brief.  Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1).
On December 17, 2001, appellees filed a motion to dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.  To date, appellant has
failed to respond to appellees' motion.
The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file, appellant's failure to file a proper appellate brief,
and appellees' motion to dismiss for want of prosecution, is of the opinion that appellees' motion should be granted.
