MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Hinojosa, Yañez, and Garza
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

         Appellant, CHELSEY WEBSTER, perfected an appeal from an order entered by
the   343rd District Court of San Patricio County, Texas, in cause number S-00-5387-CV-C.  The clerk’s record and reporter’s record were filed on December 28, 2004. 
Appellant’s brief was due on January 17, 2005.  To date, no appellate brief has been
received.
         When the appellant has failed to file a brief in the time prescribed, the Court
may dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution, unless the appellant reasonably
explains the failure and the appellee is not significantly injured by the appellant’s failure
to timely file a brief.  Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1).
         On March 8, 2005, notice was given to all parties that this appeal was subject
to dismissal pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1).  Appellant was given ten days to
explain why the cause should not be dismissed for failure to file a brief.  To date, no
response has been received.
         The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file,
appellant’s failure to file a proper appellate brief, this Court’s notice, and appellant’s
failure to respond, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of
prosecution.  The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION.
                                                               PER CURIAM

Memorandum Opinion delivered and filed
this the 7th day of April, 2005
