          TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN


                                          NO. 03-01-00311-CV



                                         Viola Wells, Appellant

                                                     v.

                     Kingsland Estates #1 Homeowner=s Association, Appellee


                     FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW OF LLANO COUNTY
                     NO. 01499, HONORABLE J. P. DODGEN, JUDGE PRESIDING




                Because appellant Viola Wells has failed to file an appellant=s brief, we will dismiss this

appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b).

                The Clerk of this Court filed appellant=s notice of appeal on May 25, 2001. The clerk=s

record was filed on August 17, and the reporter=s record was filed on October 17, 2001. Accordingly,

appellant=s brief was due November 16.

                On November 6, 2001, appellant=s counsel filed a motion to withdraw along with a motion

for extension of time to file an appellant=s brief. Both motions were granted, and the deadline for filing the

appellant=s brief was extended to December 17, 2001. Appellant, however, failed to comply with this

extended deadline.

                On March 21, 2002, this Court ordered appellant to provide a reasonable explanation by

April 2 for her failure to timely file a brief and warned her that failure to provide a reasonable explanation

would result in the dismissal of this appeal for want of prosecution. To date, appellant has filed neither a
brief nor a reasonable explanation for her failure to timely file a brief. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal

for want of prosecution on our own motion. See id. 42.3(b).
