       Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Yañez and Garza
                   Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
       The appellant's brief in the above cause was due on June 25, 2010. On July 20,

2010, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that the 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 the

Court’s 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), 42.3(b).
