THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




On Appeal from the Criminal District Court
Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Cause No. 4387 (92999)




MEMORANDUM OPINION 
 Ronald L. Ducote appealed the final judgment forfeiting a bond after entry of
judgment nisi. (1)  The appeal was submitted without briefs because the appellant failed to file
his brief by the September 16, 2006 due date.  See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a).  The appellant did
not request additional time to file the brief.  See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(d).  On December 19,
2006, this Court notified the parties that the appeal would be advanced without oral
argument.  See Tex. R. App. P. 39.9.  In the absence of a brief assigning error, we dismiss the
appeal for want of prosecution.  Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1).
	APPEAL DISMISSED.
