                                    ------------

      On December 20, 2012, we notified appellant that his brief had not been

filed as required by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.6(a). See Tex. R.

App. P. 38.6(a). We stated we could dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution

unless appellant or any party desiring to continue this appeal filed with the court

within ten days a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal. See Tex.

R. App. P. 42.3. We have not received any response.

       See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
      Because appellant's brief has not been filed, we dismiss the appeal for

want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a), 42.3(b), 43.2(f).

      Appellant shall pay all costs of this appeal, for which let execution issue.
