                 Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Lang-Miers and Lewis
                                Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
        After appellee’s counsel informed the Court of appellant’s death, we questioned our

jurisdiction over this appeal. By letter dated January 17, 2013, we requested briefing from

appellant within ten days regarding whether appellant’s death had mooted this appeal. To date,

appellant has not filed the requested letter brief nor otherwise corresponded with the Court

regarding the status of this appeal.

        Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P.

38.8(a)(1).
