                  MEMORANDUM OPINION
          Before Justices Rodriguez, Benavides, and Perkes
                  Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
       On September 14, 2011, appellant filed a brief that was not in compliance with the

Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. The brief failed generally to comply with the Texas

Rules of Appellate Procedure. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(k).

       On October 27, 2011, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that the brief failed to

comply with Rule 38.1 (k) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure because it does not

contain an appendix as required by Rule 38.1(k). See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1. Appellant

was directed to file an appendix in compliance with the Texas Rules of Appellate

Procedure within ten days of the date of the letter, and notified that if an appendix was not

filed, the Court may strike the brief, prohibit appellant from filing another, and proceed as

if appellant had failed to file a brief, under which circumstances the Court may affirm the

judgment or dismiss the appeal.        See Id. 38.9(a), 42.3(b),(c).     Appellant failed to

respond to the Court’s notice.

       Accordingly, we strike appellant=s non-conforming brief and order the appeal

DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a), 38.9(a),

42.3(b)(c).

                                                                PER CURIAM

Delivered and filed the 15th
day of December, 2011.
