<BR WP="BR1"><BR WP="BR2">
<P>	Dwight G. Harden filed a transcript in this appeal without a statement of facts on</P>

<P> December 27, 1996.  His brief was due January 27, 1997.  <EM>See</EM> Tex. R. App. P. 74(k).  He has filed no
brief or motion for extension of time to file a brief.  Failure to file a brief timely without a reasonable
explanation is grounds for dismissal for want of prosecution.  Tex. R. App. P. 74(<EM>l</EM>)(1).  On April 23, 1997,
this Court's clerk sent a notice to Harden's last known address warning that this failure to file a brief could
result in dismissal of the appeal.  The notice was returned stamped "moved left no address."  Harden has
provided no explanation for his failure to file a brief.</P>

<P>	We dismiss for want of prosecution.</P>
