                                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                             PER CURIAM
         This appeal is being dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b).
Appellant perfected his appeal on August 22, 2014, and the clerk’s record was filed on
November 18, 2014. On January 8, 2015, the appeal was ordered submitted on the clerk’s record
alone after Appellant decided not to file a reporter’s record. Therefore, Appellant’s brief was due
on February 9, 2015.
         When Appellant failed to file his brief by the due date, this Court notified Appellant on
February 10, 2015, that the brief was past due. The notice warned that if no motion for extension
of time to file the brief was received by February 20, 2015, the appeal would be dismissed for want
of prosecution under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.3(c). Further, the notice informed
Appellant that the motion for extension of time must contain a reasonable explanation for his
failure to file the brief and a showing that Appellee had not suffered material injury thereby.
         To date, Appellant has neither complied with, nor otherwise responded to, this Court’s
February 10, 2015 notice. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See TEX.
R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b).
Opinion delivered February 27, 2015.
