                          MEMORANDUM OPINION
     Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Benavides
                     Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

       Appellant’s brief in this accelerated parental termination case was originally due

on August 18, 2016. On August 25, 2016, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that

his 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.

To date, 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)(1), 42.3(b).

                                                                       PER CURIAM


Delivered and filed the
22nd day of September, 2016.
