                           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.




                                                 PER CURIAM



Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam delivered
and filed this the 13th day of March, 2008.
