PER CURIAM

<BR WP="BR1"><BR WP="BR2">
<P>	Appellant, Marilyn Roth appeals from a judgment of the trial court in favor of
appellee Michael Stephen Williams.  Because appellant has failed to file a brief, we will dismiss
the appeal for want of prosecution.  Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b). </P>

<P>	The Clerk of this Court filed the reporter's record in this cause on October 14,
1997.  Accordingly, appellant's brief was due on Thursday, November 13, 1997.  <EM>See</EM> Tex. R.
App. P. 38.6(a)(2).  By letter dated December 3, 1997, the clerk of this Court notified the parties
that appellant's brief was overdue and that the appeal was subject to dismissal unless appellant
tendered a motion for extension of time reasonably explaining the failure to file a brief.  Thus far,
appellant has neither submitted a brief nor a motion for extension of time to file a brief.</P>

<BR WP="BR1"><BR WP="BR2">
<P>	Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution on our own motion. 
Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b). </P>
