Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, LESLIE BRUNE , perfected an appeal from a judgment entered by the   156th District Court of Bee County,
Texas, in cause number B-00-1057-0-CV-B .  The clerk's record was filed on April 2, 2001 .  The reporter's record was
filed on April 17, 2001.   Appellant's brief was due on May 17, 2001.  To date, no appellate brief has been received.
Additionally, appellant has failed to pay the filing fee.
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 May 24, 2001 , notice was given to all parties that this appeal was subject to dismissal pursuant to Tex. R. App. P.
38.8(a)(1) and 42.3(c).  Appellant was given ten days to explain why the cause should not be dismissed for failure to file a
brief.  To date, no response has been received.
The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file, appellant's failure to file a proper appellate brief,
appellant's failure to tender the filing fee, this Court's notice, and appellant's failure to respond, is of the opinion that the
appeal should be dismissed for want of prosecution.  The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION.
