                                     ------------

       Our first notice letter was returned as undeliverable. The clerk of this court
contacted Anderson who affirmed he did not have an email address and provided

42.3(b), 44.3. Anderson did not respond.

      Because Anderson has failed to file a brief after having been given an

opportunity to provide a reasonable explanation, we dismiss the appeal for want

of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), 44.3, 43.2(f).
