Delivered and Filed: November 12, 2008

DISMISSED

           Arthur Lee Robertson appeals the trial court’s judgment dismissing his lawsuit. Robertson’s

brief was due September 29, 2008. Neither the brief nor a motion for extension of time was filed.

On October 10, 2008, we ordered Robertson to file, not later than October 20, 2008, his appellant’s

brief and a written response reasonably explaining his failure to timely file the brief. We advised
                                                                                     04-08-00346-CV

Robertson that if he failed to file a brief and the written response by the date ordered, we would

dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX . R. APP . P. 38.8(a). Robertson has not filed a

brief or the written response ordered by the court.

       We therefore order this appeal dismissed for want of prosecution.
