Appellant, FERNANDO GONZALEZ, perfected an appeal from
a judgment entered by County Court at Law No. 1 of Hidalgo
County, Texas, in cause number CC-045-99-1.  The clerk=s record was filed on August 24, 2005.  No reporter=s record was filed.  Appellant=s brief was due on March 15, 2006.  To date, no appellate brief has been

by the appellant=s failure to timely
file a brief.  Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1).
On April 18, 2006, notice was given to all parties
that this appeal was subject to dismissal pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1). 
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, 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.
