No brief has been filed in this court as required by the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure (R.C.P. 414 et seq.) applicable to such appeals (Art. 44.44 V.A.C.C.P.).
Failure to comply with such rules authorizes dismissal of the appeal for want of prosecution. Gregory et al. v. State, 172 Tex.Cr.R. 441, 358 S.W.2d 388, and cases cited.
The appeal is dismissed.
