MEMORANDUM OPINION

 
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Vela

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

	Appellant's brief in the above cause was due on December 17, 2007.  On February
6, 2008, the Court notified appellant, who is proceeding pro se, that the appeal was subject
to dismissal for want of prosecution unless, within ten days, appellant reasonably explained
his failure to file the brief and the appellee was not significantly injured by his failure to
timely file the brief.  See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b),(c).  Appellant's response, filed
with this Court on February 15, 2008, fails to provide a reasonable explanation for his
failure to file the brief and further fails to request an extension of time for said filing. 
Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION.  See id.
