Before QUINN and REAVIS, JJ. and BOYD, SJ.1

            Appellant Leone Plummer filed a notice of appeal on November 27, 2001. The

clerk’s and reporter’s records were filed on September 18, 2002, and Plummer’s brief was

due to be filed on October 18, 2002. It was not filed but instead Plummer’s husband, who

is not a licensed attorney, purported to represent her by seeking an extension of time to

file the brief. On November 13, 2002, this court requested Plummer and her husband to

show proof he was a licensed attorney. In response, we received a document entitled

“Appeals Brief” signed by Plummer’s husband.

      By letter dated November 25, 2002, we notified Plummer that the brief had been

struck because her husband lacked the legal authority to act on her behalf. So too did we

order Plummer to file her brief on or before December 9, 2002, or the appeal would be

dismissed. No brief or other response has been received.

      Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure

38.8(a)(1) for want of prosecution.
