                       _______________________________

Before CAMPBELL and HANCOCK and PIRTLE, JJ.

                                MEMORANDUM OPINION

       Carlos A.L. Vaughn filed a notice of appeal from a summary judgment in favor of

appellees. The trial court clerk’s record was filed on November 3, 2006. By letter dated

December 20, 2006, the clerk of this court notified Vaughn that appellant’s brief was due

December 4, 2006, but had yet to be filed. See TEX . R. APP. P. 38.6(a), 38.8. The letter

further advised Vaughn that the appeal would be subject to dismissal for want of

prosecution if the brief, or a response reasonably explaining the failure to file a brief with
a showing that appellees had not been injured by the delay, was not filed by January 2,

2007. No brief, motion for extension or other response has been received.

       Accordingly, we now dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution and failure to

comply with a directive of the court. See TEX . R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1) and 42.3(b), (c).
