Before Justices Rodriguez, Castillo, and Garza
Opinion Per Curiam

 Appellant, ROBERTO MORENO , perfected an appeal from a judgment entered by the   92nd District Court of Hidalgo
County, Texas, in cause number C-4544-98-A . The clerk's record was filed on September 21, 2001 .  The reporter's record
was filed on December 23, 2002 .   Appellant's brief was due on April 21, 2003 . To date, no appellate brief has been
received.
 When the appellant has failed to file a brief in the time prescribed, the Court may dismiss the appeal for want of
prosecution, unless the appellant reasonably explains the failure and the appellee is not significantly injured by the
appellant's failure to timely file a brief.  Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1).
 On April 28, 2003, notice was given to all parties that this appeal was subject to dismissal pursuant to Tex. R. App. P.
38.8(a)(1).  Appellant was given ten days to explain why the cause should not be dismissed for failure to file a brief.  To
date, no response has been received.  Appellees have filed a motion to dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.
 The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file, appellant's failure to file a proper appellate brief,
this Court's notice, appellant's failure to respond, and appellees' motion to dismiss, is of the opinion that the appeal should
be dismissed for want of prosecution.  Appellees' motion to dismiss for want of prosecution is GRANTED.  The appeal is
hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION.
