O P I N I O N
 Appellant's brief in this appeal was due on May 8, 2002.  On July 3, 2002 this
Court issued an order stating that unless appellant within 30 days of the date of the
order (by August 2, 2002), (1) filed a reasonable explanation for failure to timely file
his brief and (2) filed his brief, the Court would dismiss his appeal for want of
prosecution.  The time prescribed to file the explanation and brief has expired and
neither have been filed.
	Accordingly, pursuant to our order of July 3, 2002 and Texas Rules of
Appellate Procedure 38.8(a)(1) and 42.3(b), we dismiss appellant's appeal.
