</strong><strong>PER CURIAM</strong>

<p>	Because appellant Timothy James Winters has failed to file a brief, we will dismiss
the appeal for want of prosecution.  <em>See</em> Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b).

<p>	The Clerk of this Court filed the clerk's record in this cause on September 27,
2000.  Accordingly, appellant's brief was due on October 27, 2000. 

<p>	By letter dated November 6, 2000, the Clerk of this Court notified the parties that
the appeal was subject to dismissal for want of prosecution unless appellant filed a brief by
November 16, 2000 or tendered a motion for extension of time reasonably explaining the failure
to do so.  Thus far, appellant has submitted neither a brief nor a motion for extension of time to
file a brief.

<p>	Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution on our own motion. 
<em>See id.</em> 42.3(b).
